Chapter 319: Do you provide food and accommodation?

The Honghuang virtual helmet is going to be sold to the public!

Wake up early in the morning.

The exciting news quickly spread among the player circle, causing quite a stir.

Less than two weeks after the first test of "Sword Art Online", Honghuang equipment after-sales service points appeared in major cities, specializing in the sale and after-sales of virtual helmets.

For a moment.

A large number of people who received the news flocked to the service point and formed a long queue outside the service point.

"Haha, luckily I came early. I got here to queue at 5am."

"Me too, I haven't slept all night, just waiting for today."

"It is said that there are only 10,000 devices at each location this time. If you miss it, you have to wait for the next batch, or you can only grab it online."

" It's a waste of time . Every time a batch of goods is refreshed, it's sold out in seconds. I waited all night but still couldn't buy any."

"The speed of these guys' hands is really too ridiculous . Can't Honghuang be pre-sold?"

"It seems that each helmet has an individual number and will be put on the shelf only when it is ready to be shipped."

The team was chattering and talking non-stop.

Everyone's face was filled with anticipation and excitement.

Many of them came to line up early in the morning before dawn. The line stretched almost from the beginning to the end of the street, and there were even people coming from all over.

Such a grand occasion made passers-by look sideways and were shocked.

And this.

It’s just one of the sales points.

After two weeks of preparation, Chen Lin has already distributed the products across the country to ensure sales.

Otherwise, if they only rely on online delivery, their backend data will probably explode and they won’t be able to cope with it.

As for pricing.

It is still 15,000 as of the first test.

Because this price just guarantees that you won’t lose money.

What they need to do now is to popularize virtual helmets as much as possible and quickly occupy the market, so the price should not be too high.

By then, the lost revenue can be recovered through games and platform commissions.

The value that a platform user can create is much greater than the price of a helmet.

"Mr. Chen, all sales outlets are ready, and the supply has basically been delivered."

The employee in charge of marketing came hurriedly with a report.

"Okay, contact all the sales outlets and start selling at 9 o'clock."

With Chen Lin's order, stores opened across the country.

Players who were queuing up all rushed into the store like crazy to buy virtual helmets.

The scene was so chaotic, like a zombie siege.

I’m afraid that if I’m a step slower, they will be sold out.

"Haha! I got it! I bought a virtual helmet!"

A young man squeezed out, holding the box in his arms ecstatically, as if he was holding some rare treasure.

The others looked at his departing back, filled with envy and looking forward to it even more.

This craze lasted for several hours before gradually subsiding.

It’s not because there are fewer people.

The equipment is sold out...

This also caused an uproar on the Internet.

"Done! You told me that 10,000 places were sold out in half an hour?"

"What a bunch of animals! Even Candy Crush can't be played this fast!"

"Damn it! It was only a few days before my turn, and they were all sold out!"

"You're giving beggars this little money? Are you afraid we can't afford it?"

"It's not fair! There are so many people in first-tier cities, they should open more outlets !"

"You're right, this amount of stock is not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth!"

Even those manufacturers who have been paying attention to this matter did not expect the scene to be so exaggerated.

Customers are chasing manufacturers to give them money. If it were them, they would probably wake up laughing in their dreams.

This situation has only occurred when foreign graphics cards and mobile phones use hunger marketing.

But the current situation is really hungry!

There is no need to do anything special.

They are so envious.

"With such a large player base, the Honghuang virtual platform is considered stable. Call all senior executives to a meeting immediately to discuss the virtual game development project!"

After seeing this situation, the manufacturers who were still hesitant finally put their minds at ease and prepared to enter the virtual industry.

Because everyone knows it.

Nowadays, the entire virtual game industry only has one game, "Sword Art Online", and it is in a state of disrepair and need to be rebuilt.

As long as you make a virtual game.

Everyone can make a lot of money.

If you are lucky enough to catch this opportunity, rising overnight is no problem. This is definitely the opportunity that countless people dream of!

So very quickly.

A large number of game manufacturers began to appear on the Internet, publicly announcing their entry into Honghuang Virtual and starting to develop their first virtual game.

This news further promoted the sales of virtual helmets.

Countless players flocked to Honghuang stores, creating an unprecedented spectacle in major cities.

It was not until the end of the second month that Honghuang's production capacity gradually caught up and basically met the purchasing needs of the players.

Just when everyone was excited about buying the equipment, an announcement appeared under Honghuang's account.

[Honghuang Studio (official): The role-playing action game "Sword Art Online" will be officially launched on the 1st of next month. The thrilling virtual adventure world is waiting for you to fight! ]

"Shit! Sword Art Online is coming online!"

"Is this true? Will it be delayed?"

"Haha that's great, I just bought the helmet yesterday."

"I just bought it and haven't installed it yet."

"Here it comes, I can finally experience the virtual game myself."

"expect!"

Since purchasing the equipment, players have been looking forward to this game and are waiting for it to go online every day.

Not to mention those first test players.

I have been eagerly preparing to return to that magical virtual world and conquer higher levels.

at the same time.

There are also some special people.

When number 1 came, I suddenly became nervous.

"Mom, try this on, it's about to start."

Inside the nursing home ward.

A burly man in plain clothes was holding a Honghuang virtual helmet and installing it on his mother who was leaning on the hospital bed. He looked very cautious.

"Second brother, I've been blind for so many years, stop wasting money."

The mother's words were full of heartache.

It's not for my eyes, but for the money to buy this helmet.

She knew it was not easy for the second child to work outside.

Fifteen thousand yuan, I don’t know how long it will take to save enough.

"Mom, try it on first. If it doesn't work, we can return it. This thing is very popular right now."

The man comforted her, his voice trembling slightly.

The mother's eyes became blind because she was trying to feed her brothers, and now she can only stay in bed all day.

Not to mention fifteen thousand, as long as there is hope, he will do his best to get it even if it is dozens of times more!

final.

After his persuasion, the woman put on the helmet.

There is also a display peripheral connected to the side to display the game images.

Wait until 10 o'clock when the game is officially launched.

The man then used the built-in voice to teach his mother how to log into the account and create a character step by step, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead due to nervousness.

"Okay, click that confirmation button again and try again."

His voice echoed in the ward.

The woman didn't complain anymore, but cooperated by tapping the button.

Next second.

The light comes on.

When she stopped again, the woman had arrived at a busy square with a dazed look on her face.

Then, excited voices were heard.

"Second brother, I saw it, I really saw it! There were so many people!"

The woman looked around incoherently, and the picture on the display kept changing as she looked.

The man's eyes welled up with tears, and he responded repeatedly: "Yes, I saw it too, it's really the same as what they said on the Internet, it can work!"

If before.

If someone told him there was a medicine that could cure eye necrosis, he would definitely punch the person, after all, he had been cheated this way many times.

But now, he has really realized his wish of letting his mother see the light again.

Even though he was a man who had experienced countless hardships, he couldn't stop his tears from flowing down, and he choked up while teaching his mother how to do it.

Who would like to stay in the darkness if they can pursue the light?

The same is true for women.

He was so excited that he kept muttering to himself.

"Good stuff, good stuff. This way I won't have to burden you brothers anymore."

"Mom, don't say that. Without you, there wouldn't be us. Try this again..."

Seeing his mother coming out of her depression, the man was excited and taught her some basic operations, such as going online and offline.

Until noon.

He quietly closed the door and walked out of the sanatorium, feeling much more relaxed.

Looking at the vehicles and pedestrians coming and going outside, he suddenly thought of something, picked up his mobile phone to check the address of Honghuang, and drove straight to the Honghuang headquarters.

…

"Mr. Chen, there's a guy named Qin Meng downstairs who wants to see you."

Chen Lin, who was inspecting the R&D department, received a call from the front desk.

"Qin Meng? I don't seem to know anyone with this name. Did he say why he came to see me?"

Chen Lin looked puzzled, yet a little cautious.

The recent establishment of the Honghuang virtual platform has invisibly offended many people.

Although we live in a society ruled by law, there are some things that we must guard against.

"He said he came to see his benefactor..."

The girl at the front desk hesitated and said.

benefactor?

Chen Lin had a strange look on his face, as if he hadn't done anything good.

But this is his territory, so there is no need to worry too much.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Take it to the 8th floor. I'll go down now."

"OK."

Hang up the phone.

Chen Lin said something to several responsible persons and took the elevator down to the office area on the 8th floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, I saw the girl at the front desk leading a 1.8-meter-tall man waiting there.

"Mr. Chen."

The receptionist greeted Chen Lin.

Qin Meng, who was originally shocked by the facilities around him, suddenly straightened his expression and stared at Chen Lin closely after hearing this.

"Are you the boss of Honghuang?"

"It's me. What can I do for you?"

Chen Lin looked at the other person curiously to make sure he had never seen this person before.

I'm afraid he's taking advantage of the situation to blackmail people under the pretext of repaying a favor.

However.

The idea just came to me.

The tall Qin Meng suddenly bent down and bowed deeply to him.

This sudden scene not only stunned Chen Lin and the front desk clerk, but even the employees in the office area turned their heads to look over.

“You are…”

"Thank you! Thanks to the equipment you sold, my mom can see again."

Good job.

It turns out he really came to repay a favor.

He knew that the virtual helmet could directly display images on the visual nerves of the brain, allowing blind people to see things.

However, he did not expect that there was such an upright person in the world who specially ran to their headquarters to express his gratitude and bowed to him in front of so many people.

Obviously, he is a very filial person.

"We are just doing business. It's too much of a favor to say it's a favor. There's no need to be so formal."

When he got closer, Chen Lin noticed the guy's physique. His muscles were so dense and full of explosive power that he could probably knock out a cow with just one punch.

This aroused his interest.

"What's your job?"

"Me?"

Qin Meng straightened up, with a slightly embarrassed expression: "I'm driving a taxi outside now, and I happened to be close to here, so I came here..."

"You were a soldier before?"

"Yes, for a few years."

"Are you interested in working for me?"

"ah?"

Qin Meng was stunned, and so were all the employees.

What's Mr. Chen's train of thought?

However.

What surprised them even more was Qin Meng's answer.

"Does it include food and lodging? I have a big appetite."

“…”

So you are a good-for-nothing!

The employees were complaining wildly in their hearts.
