"【 Remington Model 870 】， a pump-action shotgun, first produced in 1950."
In the live broadcast, a handsome man in a black suit looked at the Remington M870 in his hand with admiration.
After saying this, he suddenly reached forward with his left hand to grab the grip under the barrel, and with a "click" sound, completed the chambering.
"Bang!"
The human-shaped wooden target a few meters away instantly shattered!
With another "click," completing the ejection and chambering, the man said with satisfaction:
"A classic among classics!"
The live broadcast room was instantly filled with wailing:
"Oh oh!! So handsome! I'm dying from his handsomeness!!"
"Super invincible handsome! John Waker! John Waker!"
"So it's not hype, he really knows how to use guns!"
"Translate, translate, what is called dedication! What is called a top actor!"
"Indeed handsome! I'm a guy, and I even want to marry him!"
……
The reason for this reaction in the live broadcast room is simple:
While making the production company a fortune, it also made him the most popular actor among young people in North America.
He even has a huge influence globally.
Remington Arms Company delayed the opening of this virtual gun store just to wait for his schedule.
— The employees of Zhumeng are very efficient.
The construction and decoration of this virtual gun store had already been completed before the New Year.
However, the partner, Remington Arms Company, kept saying that they were not ready.
On the one hand, it was to wait for John Waker's schedule, and on the other hand, they felt that NPCs could not correctly convey Remington Arms Company's culture and values, so they wanted to use real-life store clerks in the virtual store.
Considering that they would be facing users all over the world, this position was very important, and they spent a lot of time selecting suitable people.
After everything was ready, it was already the 26th.
But it must be said that careful preparation naturally has its value!
The trendy and cool actor John Waker, the heroic and super gun-savvy female clerk Carrie.
Handsome men and beautiful women on the same stage, coupled with the display, explanation, and test firing of classic firearms...
The popularity of the live broadcast room is getting higher and higher!
At first, the audience was only focused on excitement and didn't realize anything was wrong.
Until the two talked about speed shooting, they took two Remington M1858 revolvers and two bullets and placed them on the table.
After a 3-second countdown, they reached out with lightning speed.
Load, raise the gun, shoot!
"Bang!"
The blonde beauty Carrie spurted blood from her chest, and the bullet fired grazed John Waker's shoulder and flew out.
John Waker's expression remained unchanged.
In the live broadcast room, millions of viewers from all over the world were dumbfounded on the spot.
What made them even more dumbfounded was that Carrie, who had been shot, put down her gun, clutched her heart in pain for several seconds, and then...
She was fine!
Everyone was stunned for a while before they finally realized—
"Are these two people broadcasting live in Mansheng Metropolitan?!"
"That's not right, is it? Where are such detailed models? It's clearly a real person!"
"Then that's... mixed reality??"
"No matter what, Zhumeng must have helped a lot! Moreover, moreover! They definitely used holographic display equipment!!"
"So the United States actually has holographic equipment, but the FBI didn't know before??"
"Hahaha, that's outrageous! Zhumeng! How many more surprises are you going to give me?!"
……
Overseas netizens were confused, while domestic players laughed wildly.
The FBI special agent in charge of confiscating holographic equipment, and his superiors, were both shocked and angry.
Upon further investigation, these people were actually in Los Angeles!
The special agent led the agents straight to the live broadcast venue!
The lower-level agent was a little scared: "That's a munitions company, are we just going to go to their door and snatch things like this?"
"What do you mean snatch? This is called assisting in the investigation!" The special agent dismissed it, "Munitions company... just a small company that has been bankrupt and reorganized."
They quickly arrived at Remington's Los Angeles office, revealed their identities, and were about to barge in.
But the person in charge of the office actually refused to open the door!
The special agent could vaguely hear the voices inside through the door—
"Now, we will draw a lucky viewer from the live broadcast room and send them a Remington Arms gift package!"
"Including one Remington M870 shotgun, one Remington M1858 revolver, and one ACR assault rifle, with free home delivery."
"Each gun comes with an extra 1000 rounds of ammunition!"
"And gun maintenance oil!"
"Viewers who didn't win the prize don't need to be sad. To celebrate the opening of the virtual store, we will also launch a special week lasting seven days!"
"During these seven days, everyone can buy their favorite firearms at super preferential prices."
"If you are not sure which type of firearm is suitable for you, or it is inconvenient to go to a local weapons store to choose, you can come to the Mansheng Metropolitan gun store to choose and try it out, and you will definitely find the one that suits you best!"
……
The special agent's eyelids twitched wildly as he listened.
"Where did you get the holographic equipment?"
"Of course, it was given by our partner. We and Zhumeng are close partners." The person in charge of the office was not flustered at all. "This should be obvious, right? Mansheng Metropolitan has such a large gun store and a Remington Arms Museum."
The newest novels are first published on !
The special agent frowned: "My work concerns national security, I don't have time to play any games!"
"Now, open the door!"
"Otherwise, we will break down the door!"
Inside the door, the person in charge did not speak.
But the special agent suddenly heard the sound of "click," "click" chambering.
Then came the person in charge's reply: "Guess how many guns we have here? And how many gun licenses?"
The special agent shivered and instantly jumped away from the door, hiding to the side.
A drop of cold sweat slowly flowed down.
"Calm down! Don't resist the law violently! Don't let things get out of hand!"
"I'm very calm," the person in charge replied, "But I suggest we maintain the status quo and wait for a phone call together."
"If I receive a call, I will immediately open the door to cooperate with your work."
"But if you receive a call, please leave calmly and do not interfere with our work."
The special agent frowned, a little unwilling.
But another agent poked him and showed him the scene in the live broadcast room—that long row of ACR assault rifles on the gun rack.
The special agent instantly gave up.
"Okay! Then we'll wait a moment!"
After saying that, he took out his phone and was about to call his superior.
But as soon as he took out his phone, it rang—his superior's superior was calling.
Two minutes later, he hung up the phone and silently led the team away from here.
—
That night.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) stated: "Frost Snow Project" is limited to adults, the content rating is reasonable and legal, there are no problems, and there is no issue of infringing on user data privacy.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) stated: "Frost Snow Project"'s gacha system has clear rules and explanations, there are no deceptive marketing issues, and therefore the previous fine decision is revoked.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) stated: After investigation, the "war simulator causing consumer fractures" incident was purely a self-directed insurance fraud, and the safety of the Mirage Game Platform is not an issue.
……
One agency after another quickly slapped themselves in the face, retracting their previous punitive decisions.
Their faces were all written with one sentence:
"Sorry, I was wrong, can we make up?"
The driving factors behind such a huge change in attitude are naturally multifaceted.
But there is a key data point that cannot be ignored—
Remington Arms Company sold more than 38,000 firearms in one day during this opening live broadcast!
Exceeding two-thirds of the national average daily firearm sales!
You should know that before this, Remington Arms Company's firearm sales were declining, leading to bankruptcy and reorganization, and finally being acquired by the Liberty Group.
In comparison, this data is even more heaven-defying!
The amazing assistance of Mirage Game Suite superimposed on the virtual world to firearm sales is evident!
Even better: because of the strange moral fastidiousness of Zhumeng's boss, they don't even want sales commissions.
Although this has also caused some minor troubles—consumers cannot directly pay and place orders in the virtual world, but must purchase in reality after determining their favorite firearms, adding a conversion step.
But these are all minor problems and cannot completely conceal the advantages of the virtual world.
And now...
Such a powerful sales platform.
Such a selfless partner.
You bastards still want to bully them?!
The boss of Remington Arms Company—the Liberty Group—began to exert its strength, and the National Rifle Association also cast a concerned eye.
As a result, all kinds of bumps and difficulties faced by Zhumeng in North America were quickly cleared away in just half a month!
At this point, the North American game market was completely opened to Zhumeng!
