Chapter 1328: 432. Dimensionality Reduction Strike_2
For the technological devices within the game, the data that players input are just ordinary numbers and dates.
Such calculations also occur during the normal course of playing the game.
Naturally, you’d think that the game’s technological devices should provide accurate calculation results, right?
No, not at all.
The technological devices in the game seemed to be capable of judging the source of the players’ data, giving the feedback “unable to calculate” across the board.
Even if there is only one set of data related to reality among the 100 sets provided by the player, the game’s technological devices would still quit working.
...
Most players find this phenomenon quite normal since, after all, a game is just a game.
But to a particular group like the Cucumber Slice Team, which pays close attention to details, such a setting is incredibly tempting, and finding a way through could yield endless benefits.
Therefore, how to use the game’s technological devices to handle real-life issues has always been the focus of the Cucumber Slice Team.
They even created a dedicated topic on video websites to continuously update videos related to this.
Now hearing Strawberry Juice talk about editing videos with the battleship’s computer, Cucumber Slice couldn’t help but smile helplessly and say,
“There’s no solution to this for the time being, we’ll talk about it later. Time is pressing, Strawberry Juice.”
Strawberry Juice nodded, took a seat, fastened herself with the safety belt, and then logged off to edit videos.
Cucumber Slice and the others didn’t stay idle on the ship either.
The team members were responsible for collecting information from forums and video portals, while Cucumber Slice was preparing to contact his sponsor to report the situation.
Golden Dragon in the Sky had logged in despite being sick to take on an urgent task.
He was still online, probably commanding his brothers to return to the United Bureau’s territory.
Cucumber Slice found the avatar of “Golden Dragon in the Sky” in the friend list and swiftly sent a message that briefly explained the cause and effect of the situation.
About three minutes later, the “ding ding ding” alert sounded. noveldrama
Golden Dragon in the Sky had replied.
But the content that came back left Cucumber Slice completely bewildered.
“Brother, do you feel like this game is @#$%^. I feel &#@*, and it’s quite uncomfortable.”
Cucumber Slice read the message contents and touch his head in confusion, muttering to himself,
“Why is there gibberish in this message… uh, looks like Boss Jin is really sick, can’t even type properly.”
Cucumber Slice thought for a moment.
Boss Jin probably still had a fever; he had said earlier that he seemed to have caught some virus, causing persistent high fever.
Now might not be the best time to report to him.
Cucumber Slice nodded slightly, pondering,
“I’ll wait until Boss Jin has recovered.”
Cucumber Slice typed a message in the chat box with his mind, suggesting that Boss Jin should rest well and they could talk after he recovered from his illness.
After sending the message, there was no response.
Cucumber Slice didn’t mind; it was normal for the other party to not reply while online commanding despite being sick.
Just as he was thinking this, he noticed Strawberry Juice’s body shook slightly.
She opened her eyes and looked at Cucumber Slice with shock on her face and disbelief in her eyes.
Cucumber Slice was puzzled and asked,
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Was the video well-received after you uploaded it?”
“No, Captain. I, I, I…” Strawberry Juice struggled to organize her words and began to gesture as she said,
“I just finished editing the video and uploaded it, but someone was faster than us, and their video is a full clip.”
Cucumber Slice’s brows slightly furrowed:
“What do you mean? Calm down for a bit and explain slowly. I didn’t quite follow.”
Strawberry Juice placed a hand over her chest, took a few deep breaths, trying to calm the turmoil inside.
At the side, a team member browsing through the video portal suddenly exclaimed,
“Holy crap? Is this for real? How can this person be so fast? They’ve already cut and uploaded all the events that happened today. How are we supposed to compete with them for views?”
The team member casually shared the video link in the chat window.
Strawberry Juice’s eyes widened, and pointing at the interface only she could see, she said,
“Yes, that’s the video I’m talking about. Captain, you should take a look.”
Cucumber Slice clicked open the link, his expression quickly turning grave.
The video is half an hour long.
The duration isn’t long, but it encapsulates all the essence.
Multi-camera captures of the entire battlefield masterfully seize the details of combat, dynamically tracking the whole process of players boarding ships, with meticulously designed shooting angles, flawless scene construction, and perfectly applied camera filters.
Every frame, every image, could be described as cinematic.
The Cucumber Slice Team focuses on game exploration and has only a basic understanding of photography and video editing.
The appearance of this video is undoubtedly a devastating blow to them.
Regarding video content richness, since the Cucumber Slice Team didn’t participate in the latter half of the battle, their footage is almost completely lacking anything related to the Archangel Group Fleet, which means the content is seriously incomplete.
Regarding the visual appeal of the video, even if all members of the Cucumber Slice Team were scattered throughout the battlefield, they couldn’t possibly capture every corner of it.
When it comes to the speed of video editing, that goes without saying.
Just half an hour after the battle ended, and someone has already edited a comprehensive and highly entertaining final product.
This is simply unbelievable.
“Could it be that some professional photography team has entered the game?”
Liam Bennett frowns, muttering to himself,
“This is too impressive. Other than a professional team that can shoot and edit in real time, I can’t think of anyone who could achieve this. And from the content of the video, there must have been at least nearly a hundred highly skilled cinematographers tracking the battle throughout, or else where would all these different shots come from?”
His team members also look somber, nodding in agreement.
Strawberry Juice is the most affected by this.
She estimates that even if she were to finish editing their team’s footage now, their final video would comprise at most only one-third of the half-hour film’s content.
For a team that prides themselves on exploring games, falling behind on content richness would be a huge setback.
Who could this mastermind be, infiltrating the self-media industry of gaming?
Everyone clicks on the video publisher’s page, stunned to discover that this user nicknamed “Elder of the Soul Hall” has only uploaded one video, which is the half-hour video in question.
“This person’s ID is ‘Elder of the Soul Hall’… Who in their right mind would choose such a name for themselves.”
“Look, there’s a business contact method in his profile. He offers promotional and custom services. Should we give him a call to ask about it?”
The team members quietly discuss among themselves.
Cucumber Slice is deep in thought.
Strawberry Juice hurriedly logs off to continue editing the video, aiming to release it as soon as possible.
The rapid flow of information in the era of self-media once again reveals its astonishing aspect.
Within minutes after the half-hour video was released, its view count exceeded 1 million and that’s just on one video portal website.
Conservatively estimated, the total view count across the internet should have already broken 10 million.
Cucumber Slice quietly sighs,
“Ah, we’ve made a mistake this time.”
“Captain…” the team members come up to comfort him.
Cucumber Slice waves his hand, smiling,
“No worries, Ladies and Gentlemen. Video editing isn’t our forte anyway, exploring game content is. Let’s all sort through our data and discuss today’s plot as soon as possible to get our video guide done.”
“Yes, Captain!” the team members respond in unison.
“Ding ding ding…” Cucumber Slice’s Friend System sends a system notification.
A stranger is requesting to add him as a friend.
Cucumber Slice casually opens the person’s game profile, and his pupils dilate slightly.
There’s an avatar of the game character on the person’s profile.
It’s the upper body of a figure in a black hoodie.
As Cucumber Slice looks at the person’s avatar, the originally still image eerily starts to move.
The figure in the avatar slowly lifts its hoodie, revealing a pale face all too familiar to Cucumber Slice.
It’s the face of “Bitter Gourd Juice,” the traitor from their team.
No, no, no.
To be precise, it’s the real-life appearance of “Bitter Gourd Juice.”
Cucumber Slice’s gaze slowly moves down to read the reason given for the friend request.
It reads:
“Did you see the video I posted with the ID ‘Elder of the Soul Hall’? What did you think? Do you want to know how I made it? I owe you guys. I’m willing to share this secret with you as compensation.”
