Chapter 297: Large-scale online dating scene
[There is only one condition for you to be liberated, just beat this game. 】
[You are now on the first floor of Aincrad. Go through the maze areas on each floor. Defeat the boss guarding the floor to enter the next floor. Defeat the final boss of the 100th floor to complete the game.]
[Finally, there is a gift from me in your storage, please check it. ]
The calm voice echoed throughout the square.
All the players woke up in shock and quickly opened the storage bar, and sure enough, they saw an item.
【Hand mirror】
"Hand mirror?"
In the live broadcast room.
Ouyang Xiao asked the same question as the protagonist.
She was originally playing the Molten Core dungeon with her guild members, and when she heard that a new CG was updated for Primordial, she ran over to see it.
As a result, I became addicted to it and was eager to know what would happen if these people were trapped in the game and how to escape.
After all, the theme of virtual games is quite novel.
There was constant discussion in the live broadcast room.
However.
Without waiting for them to think about it.
A scream was heard suddenly.
In the picture, white light appeared on the players who took out the hand mirror props from the storage bar.
Amid a burst of exclamations, the scene immediately returned to its realistic appearance. Even the face-pinching effects on the protagonist disappeared, returning to its original appearance.
even.
When the light faded, some female characters turned into a man with their arms around another man.
The live broadcast room was silent for a moment.
Then suddenly a large number of barrages broke out.
“Hahahahaha…”
"Shemale, this is actually a shemale number!"
"Shit! I almost sprained my old waist."
"I remember these two were hugging each other just now, right?"
"Rue~ It's a large-scale makeup removal scene."
"This is not a hand mirror, it's clearly a magic mirror!"
"Honghuang is really too bad."
The audience laughed like crazy as they watched the scene suddenly appear.
First the logout button was pulled out, then the head was put on the induction cooker, and now the makeup removal scene.
It's only the first episode and it's already so sexy.
When it comes to making things happen, Honghuang really understands them the best.
If virtual games really exist, we have no doubt that Honghuang will really give them this experience.
The thought of meeting someone in person after falling in love online is very exciting.
【Well, good luck to all players. 】
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the game creator in the air left a word and his entire body began to melt rapidly.
In a flash, the blood-red sky returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
quiet.
The entire square was silent.
Everyone opened their mouths and stared blankly at the sky.
Then, a cry of fear suddenly broke out, resounding through the sky.
The protagonist stood there with his fists clenched.
At this moment, he understood.
This is not a game, this is reality!
After calming down, he pulled Klein along and explained the scarcity of resources around . He wanted to take him to other towns first to occupy resources and improve his strength.
However.
Klein still has his own guild partners.
Finally, after some conversation, he decided to go back to his partners and stop dragging down the protagonist.
【You must survive! 】
The male protagonist gritted his teeth, turned around and left resolutely, rushed out of the city and headed straight for the next town.
At this time, music started.
Render the whole emotion to the extreme.
The first episode ends with the male protagonist roaring and rushing towards the refreshed monster.
"Is it over?"
"Is that all?"
"Fuck, I haven't seen enough!"
"Damn it! Why is that all?"
"I'm so anxious, what's going to happen next?"
"The emotions have been built up to this point, and you're telling me that it's over?"
"Isn't it enough that I study hard for the college entrance examination? Just one episode! Just one more episode will do!"
When the ending theme song appeared, the audience immediately started cursing.
The main reason is that the plot of the first episode really whetted their appetite, making them eager to know what will happen next.
The number of followers, which originally only existed in the double digits, soared to nearly 500,000 in just half an hour.
When I clicked on the comments, I saw that they were all urging for more updates, and the rest were discussions about virtual games.
The popularity was so high that it gradually triggered a new round of topics online.
for example:
#Can virtual games be born in the next twenty years? #
#When will the Metaverse actually be realized? #
＃Imagine the future, what do you imagine the virtual industry to be like? ＃
＃Sword Art Online, satisfied my fantasy of virtual games.＃
#Honghuang new game prediction, it may be a VR game. #
There are many more topics like this.
At first, it was just flooding the gaming circle.
But gradually.
More and more people are joining the discussion.
It is not limited to games, but also includes immersive movies, animation, websites, literature, shopping, etc.
It is said that netizens’ imagination is unlimited.
The college entrance examination celebration organized by Honghuang undoubtedly opened up the conversation for them and allowed them to speak freely online.
Once again bringing the virtual industry into the public eye.
"In my opinion, a full-dive game like Sword Art Online is unlikely to appear in the next 20 years at least."
"But I heard that many countries already have similar technologies, but they are only used in training on a small scale."
“It’s just hearsay after all. No one has actually seen it. Maybe it’s just a deeper level of VR somatosensory equipment.”
"It's so funny. How can the current VR be called VR? It's just a self-flattering gimmick."
"I am actually looking forward to what the virtual industry will be like in the future. It should be very rich, right?"
For most people.
I still hope that the virtual industry can rise.
They did not experience the invention of the light bulb, witness the takeoff of an airplane, or touch the birth of the computer.
But it does not stop them from imagining the future, chatting, or even arguing.
That maybe.
This is the true portrayal of countless ordinary people.
…
The other side.
Inside the Honghuang studio.
Chen Lin, who is preparing to develop a technical team, also feels the virtual fever gradually rising on the Internet, and the corners of his mouth slightly rise.
"Not bad. It seems that they have very high expectations for virtual games."
Although he is not sure when the country will be able to launch the first version of brain-computer technology, this does not affect his efforts to build momentum in advance and create hype.
Just like the Metaverse and AI in previous years, they were discussed online for several years before they finally appeared one after another.
The rise of a huge industry.
It’s not as simple as just publishing it.
And his ambition this time is not just a virtual game, but an entire virtual platform.
He arrived a step late on the PC and console sides, which are now dominated by Steam and the Big Three, and domestic giants such as iGame and Penguin are also eyeing them.
Due to various limitations, VR and AR have little value in market development.
If Honghuang wants to have the capital to challenge them head-on, he can only start from other places.
And the virtual industry is his goal!
He plans to plan ahead and build the world's first virtual gaming platform.
When the time comes.
Players can log in to the platform through their devices, play various virtual games, and even watch movies and animations.
It is also open to the outside world, like Steam and the Big Three platforms, accepting manufacturers' virtual game listing services and charging a commission.
They can also learn from these platform operators, continue to upload their own games, and control the best promotional resources.
Only this way.
Only by upgrading a single industrial chain can they reach a level comparable to large capital companies and even the Fortune 500!
When that time comes, PC, console, mobile phone and virtual world will be in a three-way competition. If they occupy one of the four pillars, their voice in the world will become completely different.
this.
This is Chen Lin’s ambition!
It is also the most important step in building a gaming empire!
But then again.
Since the computing power of chips increased last year, the mobile phone industry has risen very rapidly, and it is indeed possible to consider porting some games over.
It can be used as a supplement before the virtual technology is announced.
"Mr. Chen."
Just as I was thinking about it, a voice rang out.
The purchasing manager came over hurriedly with a document in his hand and a frown on his face.
"Did you encounter any problems?" Chen Lin asked.
"Well, we have encountered some difficulties in procurement." The purchasing manager nodded. "We have basically purchased the common equipment you asked us to purchase, but the high-precision equipment is difficult to obtain, or the price is too high."
“How much funding is needed?”
"This...may cost around 22 billion."
The manager said hesitantly that this was the lowest price he had estimated, and it was only a preliminary price, not including subsequent investments.
After all , high-precision equipment is not something you can get just if you want it.
Just like a photolithography machine, it can cost more than 1 billion, and that doesn't even include the transportation cost of those precision components.
He even wanted to suggest outsourcing the production so that at least they could afford it.
"22 billion?"
Chen Lin fell into deep thought.
Of course, he knows that outsourcing saves trouble, and basic things such as helmet shells can also be outsourced.
But the core components must be firmly in your own hands.
to this end.
It doesn't matter how much money you invest.
"Make a shopping list for me, mark the purchase details, and buy the equipment as long as it's no more than 1.5 times the market price."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, the purchasing manager left in a hurry.
Chen Lin looked at his back and the busy employees in the office and let out a sigh of relief.
fortunately.
They have accumulated enough funds in the early stage.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary companies to open up overseas markets and establish R&D teams.
Now that he was running two lines in parallel, he suddenly became short of money.
It seems that we need to speed up the promotion of mobile games.
Thinking of this, he called Lao Li and told him about the matter.
"Change to mobile game?"
Old Li looked surprised.
"Well, which of our current games do you think are suitable for porting to mobile phones?" Chen Lin asked.
"As for mobile games, many manufacturers have been working on them in the past two years, but they are mainly online games. World of Warcraft is too big to be suitable, but DNF and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds are OK, and Yu-Gi-Oh is also one."
“Three models…”
"Yes, I suggest Yu-Gi-Oh!, because the data is the easiest to communicate with, and it can be used to explore the way. The other two games are quite popular recently, so there is no need to divert their traffic for the time being. It would be best to release a new mobile game to promote them together."
"Okay, let's do as you say. I'll go back and think about what new mobile game to make. It just so happens that the Dawn team has some free time recently, so we have a lot of manpower."
