As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 136 Raising Gu
The Mage Alliance's method of increasing mana has always been to optimize itself through various biological means and physical stimulation.

Zheng Li had never heard of anything like meditation being able to improve spellcasting ability. It was only after he came to Blue Star that he got to know the Blue Star people, who believed that magic could be improved just by thinking.

Meditation is also available in the Mage League, but in the Mage League, meditation can only improve your concentration.

It does not help in improving spellcasting ability.

However, there were no magical creatures on Blue Star. He wanted to transform himself through the genes of magical creatures, but there were no ready-made magical creature genes for him to use to transform his body.

However, it is very inconvenient to breed magical creatures in the R&D center in Lion City.

almost impossible.

Although his suspicion has been ruled out, there are still various spies monitoring the R&D center of CStone Biotechnology in Singapore.

Zheng Li could smell the special bloody smell on some security guards with his own sense of smell without relying on magic.

If it weren't for the fact that his body couldn't withstand a nuclear bomb, Zheng Li would have wanted to physically destroy these hyenas that sneaked in.

Zheng Li thought that he might have to buy a small island as a research and development base.

But you can’t use Zheng Li’s identity to buy an island.

He needs to create another identity.

It just so happens that he is now in Malaysia where he can buy the island.

Zheng Li thought that he could still purchase the island through his clone, while his physical body could still be operated remotely in Kuala Lumpur.

There won't be much latency at this distance.

If you go to Central America to buy an island, the delay will be very affected.

As for where the money would come from, Zheng Li already had a plan and there was no need to use the cover of Ke Chuang Biotechnology.

Where does the money come from? It’s very simple. Use the idle part of the bio-cloud to mine BTC.

Optimize the BTC mining algorithm and then start mining on a large scale after optimization.

But he can’t mine all the BTC. If Zheng Li mines all the BTC in the mining pool by himself, miners all over the world will find out.

Therefore, Zheng Li plans to occupy one percent of the computing power within Blue Star.

BTC fluctuated particularly violently in 2022. After surpassing the previous high, when everyone shouted the target price to 10 Mi Yuan per unit price, it fell sharply every day like a high dive.

It continued to fall to 40,000 Miyuan before stabilizing.

Zheng Li plans to stop after mining enough BTC to buy an island.

As for scientific research equipment and the like, cultivating magical creatures does not require Blue Star's scientific research equipment.

With the existence of biological cloud and magic brain, these two things are enough for him.

Just to obtain enough plant samples from Blue Star, he needs to rely on Ke Chuang Biological to purchase them for him around the world.

Zheng Li completed the plant sample analysis at the Singapore R&D Center and selected valuable plants.

The cultivation work is carried out by Zheng Li on the private island.

It forms a structure of two locations and three centers, and the physical body of the soul is still located in Kuala Lumpur.

While Zheng Li was planning his own magical creature breeding base, Tencent was advancing its own VR game development project.

Ren Yu has received sufficient support from Tencent from top to bottom. The development of the VR field has been the most important task of Tencent in the past two years.

In recent years, large companies have been doing things like raising insects. If there is a good business model outside, the large companies will form several teams internally to work on projects based on this business model.

Whichever team comes out on top in terms of market size, users, revenue, and other data will get all the support from the company in this field, and members of other similar project teams will be merged into the top team.

Then, if the internal team outperforms the external startup, that would be the best. Then you will gain the right to set up an independent company, with the large company still investing in or even controlling the company.

If you haven't tried it, then large companies can consider acquiring startups with this business model.

The internal competition was very fierce. At that time, there were at least three teams working on ByteDance's online education.

(I have a friend who was in an online education team. Due to some unspeakable reasons, all of his members were cut off and he successfully became the object of optimization.)

The VR system project is too big, it is unrealistic to raise a team, and there are not enough people to support Tencent.

We can only transfer people to Kechuang Future to develop together with the MIUI team.

But games can be used to breed Gu. Tencent doesn’t have much else, but it has a lot of game studios.

Even large game studios have their own internal groups, and each group is a complete team.

From planning to art, from main programming to copywriting, we have everything.

Therefore, Tencent encourages everyone to engage in VR game projects.

Every group can do what they want. They just need to come up with a plan first, and then they can start after the plan is reviewed.

For example, dozens of groups submit proposals together, and then ten of them start working on them after they are reviewed.

After the DEMO is made, five will be selected to enter the next round, and finally all five will be put on the shelves.

Those with good data will receive more resources, while those with bad data will quietly die out.

It is so cruel that game developers have no time to feel sad about the decline of their hard work before they have to move on to the next project.

The consequence of working non-stop is that there is no time for sedimentation and accumulation.

Of course this year is much better.

Because no one can get a game license this year, the consequence of not getting a game license is that we can only rehash and optimize and update games that previously had game licenses.

It’s relatively less tiring than when developing new projects.

However, after Ke Chuang Bio's brain-computer connection VR sample was sent to Tencent, many game developers became ambitious.

This is obviously a rare opportunity. If you do it well, you will get the greatest attention and the most resources from Tencent.

Maybe it will be the next pesticide, the next Tianmei.

If we do this well, it will be no problem for the group to become a studio.

Previously, there were perhaps twenty or so groups raising Gu, but this time, nearly fifty groups proposed proposals.

"As Photon has secured a spot, we need to compete with Photon's games and have to create our own unique features.

I think the Souls-like games are our best differentiated product.”

The most famous product of Photon Studio is the mobile version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds - PUBG Mobile.

Tencent has designated Photon Studio to release a battle royale-type game based on brain-computer connection VR.

First-person perspective, brain-computer connection to operate movement, and the feeling of holding a cold weapon with a handle.

In the eyes of game developers within Tencent, the combination of brain-computer VR and battle royale games is a match made in heaven.

It just requires changing the gunfight into cold weapon combat, and making some fine-tuning to the maps, characters, pictures, props, etc.

This is Tencent’s strength, making fine adjustments based on the work of others.

There are countless similar examples, such as QQ Hall which was modified from Bubble Hall, and QQ Speed ​​which was modified from KartRider.

Even though there is Photon Studio's battle royale VR game in the past, there are still many people who want to try it.

Maybe the games you make will be more popular?

“I disagree. Souls-like games are too hardcore. How can hardcore games compare to battle royale games that have a large audience?

The players we all come from are not on the same level.”
