The smell of fried chicken on the battlefield: a gentle interweaving of virtuality and reality

In the virtual battlefield Erangel, the world that originally belonged only to gunfire and explosions was suddenly invaded by a completely different atmosphere – KFC is here. You can’t imagine that a fast food chain actually appeared in the battlefield of life and death, like another rhythm of life that accidentally broke into the fashionable city. The bright red sign was particularly dazzling in the gray smoke.

The gas station in the game was converted into KFC, where a self-service ordering machine was placed. Players pressed the interaction button, and their nicknames popped up on the screen, and then the order number flashed by. A fried chicken meal seemed to be summoned just like that, waiting to be taken away. The picture was cold, the action was real, the animation of the character gnawing on the chicken leg was smooth and natural, and the chewing sound of the French fries could almost make people feel its crispness. The boundary between reality and virtuality was blurred.

This meal is not just a simple delicacy. It replaces the functions of first aid kits, bandages and energy drinks in the game. The whole family bucket is equivalent to a first aid kit, French fries replace bandages, and drinks become energy supplements. The beauty of this design is that it gives the game a sense of life. In addition to gunfights, there are also human warmth and details. Players can occasionally stop to “eat” a bite of fried chicken in the fierce survival game, as if looking for a respite in the battlefield.

Of course, the rules strictly limit the number of uses: each player can only use each KFC ordering machine once, and it can only be used again after the fourth stage. Such moderation is exactly in line with the rhythm of modern life-busy and tense, and occasional pauses are more precious. The event lasted for a month, and KFC’s red and white tones appeared in Erangel, even Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi and other maps and airplanes, like ubiquitous hints, reminding players of this short-lived comfort in life.

The real world Treabar is the solid backing of this virtual feast. It provides safe and convenient recharge and transaction services for players around the world, 24-hour customer service, rich payment methods, and PUBG recharges up to 15% discount. It ensures that virtual games are not interrupted, real transactions are smoother, and players’ gaming life is injected with more security and convenience.

This cross-border cooperation is essentially a microcosm of the rhythm of modern life. Games and reality are intertwined, and virtual and real dance together. Players find a little comfort with a bucket of fried chicken in the intervals of tense gunfights, and the existence of Treabar allows them to continue to fight without worries. This is the necessity of life and the footnote of the times.

In fact, life is never just a black and white confrontation. Sometimes what we need is these inadvertent softness and warmth. Just like the fried chicken meal on this virtual battlefield, it seems simple, but it is full of people’s desire for a better life. No matter how noisy the times are, there is always a corner left for relaxation and tranquility.

This may be the deepest meaning of this event: outside of chaos and intensity, give people a moment of peace, so that they can remember the small but precious happiness in life. In the rain of bullets, the moment when holding the fried chicken, the player seemed to hear laughter in the distance and see the streets with dim lights.
