Chapter 125 International Server Players Are Still Too Lucky

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the international version of Escape from Chickenkov to be released.

On overseas eCET platforms alone, the number of players who pre-registered for this game reached as many as 400,000.

If we also take into account the number of players who pre-registered on other platforms, the number of people willing to buy immediately is probably much higher than the 500,000 that Chen Dong previously predicted.

As the clock struck 9 a.m. Beijing time, Escape from Chickenkov officially launched on major international platforms.

Of course, the reason Chen Dong chose this time to release the product was to cater to the United States, which has the second largest player base in the world.

9 a.m. Beijing time is 8 p.m. Eastern Time and 6 p.m. Western Time, which is also the time when office workers get off work and have time to play games.

Chen Dong's choice of timing certainly did not disappoint him.

Within just one or two hours, more than half of the 400,000 players who pre-registered on the EC platform purchased Escape from Chicken.

According to backend data, the IP address of the player who purchased the most games is from the United States, followed by Southeast Asian countries and Australia, which are also daytime countries.

As for Europe, which has a large number of developed countries, not many players bought the game immediately because it was close to midnight.

On YouTube, streamer Lud started streaming as soon as he bought Escape from Chickenkov, preparing to use it as the content for his stream tonight.

However, before he started playing, he also showed the more than 100,000 viewers in his live stream a strategy video that had been uploaded from China to the internet.

This naturally includes how to get to the cellar in the warehouse area, and how to enter the cave in the middle of the Zero Zone map during the first phase of the storm. Once the second phase of the storm begins, you can get the early game's must-have weapon: the AK47.

Upon seeing the video, streamer Lud winked at the camera and said, "Guys, it seems that Chinese players don't like to call this gun by its full name. Instead, they prefer to call it 'Fire Qilin'."

When pronouncing the last three words, Lud did not use English, but instead spoke the words "Fire Qilin" in a strained accent.

However, he didn't delve into why Chinese players called this gun "Fire Kirin," but simply searched for the meaning of the term on Google.

"The reason why Chinese players call this gun 'Fire Qilin' is because in Chinese mythology, there is a mythical beast called Qilin that can breathe fire. That's why players gave this fire-attribute weapon this nickname."

The streamer, Lud, introduced the content to the viewers in the live stream with an air of seriousness, seemingly unaware that he had said anything wrong.

Some Chinese players who watched the live stream from overseas websites did not expose or correct the streamer Lud for accidentally promoting traditional Chinese culture.

As some Chinese viewers watched the live stream, they couldn't help but laugh as the streamer Lud earnestly shared the reasons for his mistake.

After watching a few strategy videos, streamer Lud promptly left YouTube and did not choose to continue watching.

Firstly, his attempt to use videos to artificially inflate the length of his live stream has already been noticed by many viewers in the live stream room.

Secondly, aside from some necessary strategies that need to be understood in advance, streamer Lud prefers to explore the game's content on his own. Otherwise, knowing some content in advance would reduce a lot of the fun of exploration.

Even so, some Chinese players couldn't help but sigh.

"Players on the international server are so lucky."

Thanks to guides provided by domestic players, many international players learned how to exploit the sandbags to farm Ekko in Zone 0 when the game first launched, which accelerated the process of many international players leaving the starting area.

In addition, some players on the international server saw that the crafting blueprint for the AK47 with fire would spawn in the cave in Zone Zero during the second phase of the storm, so they chose to camp in the cave before the storm arrived and wait for the second phase of the storm to begin.

However, during this process, some players were killed by the spawned Storm Monsters, while others managed to kill the Storm Monsters and successfully obtain the Fire Kirin blueprint.

However, most players who obtain the blueprint for crafting the Fire Kirin are unable to craft it in a short period of time.

After all, the crafting materials list for the Fire Kirin also requires 5 Space Crystals that can only be obtained by killing Storm Monsters.

Unless you purchase the Stormwork Set from the mysterious merchant in the warehouse district and then go out to kill monsters to obtain materials during the first phase of Storm, you simply cannot craft the Fire Kirin.

The streamer Lud made crafting the Fire Kirin one of his main objectives in the early game.

First, explore Zone Zero step by step to familiarize yourself with the map, gameplay, and controls, and focus on searching for containers such as clothes and cabinets where keys are likely to be found.

Next, following the method taught in the strategy video, defeat the BOSS Ekhun in Zone Zero and upgrade to a brand new set of equipment.

In just two or three hours, streamer Lud had become completely familiar with the gameplay of Escape from Chickenkov and had explored almost the entire beginner map, Zone Zero.

However, what frustrated streamer Lud was that he had been playing the game for two or three hours but hadn't seen a single red item, and had only managed to get two high-value golden items.

In addition, viewers in the live stream, seeing that he couldn't get the big red item, posted pictures of their own successful drops in the chat, along with a string of Versailles quotes.

"Fuck! How come you all managed to get some big red items, but I haven't gotten a single one, and I can't even get many high-value gold items!"

Upon seeing more blue and green trash inside the safe, streamer Lud couldn't help but swear.

Just then, a comment appeared on the screen.

"The streamer can move on to the next map now; the drop rate in the warehouse area is generally much higher than in the zero area."

The commenter's name was written in Chinese characters that the streamer Lud couldn't understand. He only knew that it was Chinese characters, but he didn't know its meaning.

However, after receiving the reminder, the anger on his face instantly dissipated, and he instead showed a smile.

"Thank you for the suggestions from my Chinese friends. I didn't expect that there would be Chinese friends watching my live stream."

The streamer, Lud, clasped his hands together and expressed his gratitude to the camera.

Although he has no immediate plans to expand into China, China is, after all, a potential market with over a billion people, and he is unwilling to offend it.

When you're traveling, having more friends means having more options.

Furthermore, as a broadcaster, maintaining an approachable image is also very important.
