The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 316 Rehearsal? What rehearsal? ? (Seeking monthly votes)
Qihuahua was surprised to find that:

The spirit that originally could only be directed through a few gestures and commands could now suddenly be controlled as if it were an arm.

As long as she points casually, the little dragon thief will immediately understand where she is pointing and stop at the designated position accurately, without any error!

Like I could understand what she was thinking!
The brave sniper also rushed to the huge cave where the jumping puzzle was located.

The fluorescent plants on the top of the cave become even more dreamy, and you can smell the subtle astringent juice from the huge roots and the fresh smell of soil after the rain.

The sound of the underground river flowing slowly also exudes a cool feeling...

It’s clearly the same cave, but after changing from a fantasy play set to a dream machine, it feels like I’ve arrived at a new place!
The brave sniper was surprised for a moment, then began to climb again.

What Xu Meng said was right. He immediately discovered that the feeling was very different.

But the problem is... the difficulty hasn't decreased at all.

Even harder!

In the past, when climbing on rock walls, all you had to do was choose the right grip points and control your physical strength.

There is no problem of not being able to catch it.

But now, the rock wall is wet and slippery, and you will easily slide down from it if you are not careful!
The same goes for the "platform jumping" section: things of different materials feel different when stepped on, which will affect the strength and distance of the jump.

What's even more outrageous is: he is a little afraid of heights!

Playing on the Mirage Game Suite and PC, this problem does not exist at all.

Even though the holographic display looked lifelike, he had no sense of it.

But after switching to the [Dream Machine], he looked down at the real difference of 20 to 30 meters, and his calves began to tremble.

……

Whether your hands or feet slip, or your legs are weak and you don't jump far enough, the result is the same -

"Pfft!"

The water in the underground river is icy cold!
The brave sniper climbed out of the underground river, shivering from the cold and his teeth chattering.

I shivered and cursed "Fuck" several times before I slowly warmed up.

The brave sniper is indeed brave. Even if he fails and gets frozen to death, he will continue to challenge again and again after his body warms up.

……

Xun Fei and Long Cheng Fei will team up to hunt dragons.

Zhang Siming feels the hail of bullets passing by in "Lord of War".

Of course, some people also went directly to Silver City to listen to Qing Ling singing, or went to Pacemaker Club to watch the mechanical dancer Alicia dance.

There are also gluttons who run to the city to try the delicious food, or the strange-looking things that don't look like human food.

Everyone was very interested.

It was not until noon that Xu Meng urged me to log off and eat that I reluctantly woke up from my dream.

They were also very enthusiastic during the meal and became more and more excited as they talked.

In the end, no one knew what happened, but a group of people ran to the edge of Jinghu Lake to take a group photo, and also pulled Xu Meng along.

……

……

Today is the last day of February.

That is the day when the closed beta of "Monster Hunter" ends, and it is also the day before the release date of "Dread Wolf".

Shengcai Entertainment, which has become the front line in the confrontation between Sony Game Station, Softote Game Box and Dream Building, is under tremendous pressure.

Gary has been so anxious that he couldn't sleep for several days, and has been busy arranging the work before the release of "Dread Wolf".

The staff of Sony's Xiaguo branch were equally anxious.

They spent far more money than ever before and finally managed to sign up enough game anchors and up-streamers before the deadline to broadcast live or produce positive content as soon as "Dread Wolf" was released.

——Even Qihuahua, Huanyue and Longcheng Feijiang, who were eating in the Dream Building Canteen just now, received business orders from Sony China.

The treatment is quite generous.

Qihuahua was almost moved.

Then at the dinner table, I heard Huodao talking about what Xu Meng meant by "suitable for hunting wolves".

After listening to it, he said nothing and silently rejected the business order.

After completing this work, the employees of Sony Xiaguo branch finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gary, who was far away in Edmonton, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the news. He felt that it was only now that the hole created by Dream Building was finally filled.

You can lie down with confidence and have a good sleep.

……

after an hour.

Employees of Sony's Xiaguo branch saw a group photo.

A group photo posted by Brave Sniper, Huanyue, Qihuahua, Dragon City Flying General, Fire Knife... and others at the same time.

Not only them are in the photo, but also Xu Meng and Xiao Meng.

As a virtual anchor, Qihuahua still stubbornly photoshopped a cat head on her head.

So in this photo, there are two cat heads: Qihuahua and Xiaomeng.

——After Xu Meng heard that they were going to take a group photo, he specially brought the upgraded holographic belt customized for Xiao Meng and brought Xiao Meng over to take the photo together.

This photo quickly caused huge discussion in the gaming circle!

This was the first time that all the [Honorary Players] of Dream Building had gathered offline—even if not all of them, it was the majority.

Just by seeing these people gathering, players can guess that Dream Building is going to do something big!
Xu Meng quickly released a trailer, confirming everyone's speculation:

March 3 at 1 p.m.

The last special program before the release of "Monster Hunter", a large-scale hunting challenge——

【Wolf Hunting】

Stay tuned! 」

Like Qihuahua and the others, no one realized who Xu Meng was targeting at first.

Just looking forward to this special:

“Finally, I can see the official content of the game!”

"These beta testers are so disloyal. They haven't passed on any information for so many days. I'm so anxious. But Boss Xu is so open-minded. He made a big move right away!"

"My goodness, this group of people together have nearly 3000 million fans, right? Excluding Boss Xu, there are still 1000 million. How much money did they spend to set up this game?"

"Large-scale hunting challenge? In other words, Monster Hunter can allow more than a dozen people to hunt together? So cool?!"

……

Players' attention was all on Monster Hunter. Until various media and self-media began to forward and comment on Xu Meng's event preview.

As we all know, the three elements of news in the new era are no longer [authenticity], [timeliness] and [accuracy].

Instead, they take things out of context, quotations, and create oppositions.

In the Internet age, the media and self-media love to do most: to provoke confrontation, create public opinion, and create topics.

Seeing the slightest sign, they are willing to fan the flames and cause a huge conflict.

What's more, this time, they really didn't make it up out of thin air.

Soon, rumors spread about the conflict between Shengcai Entertainment and DreamCraft, and the competition between Dread Wolf and Monster Hunter.

Players responded:
"Seriously, bro? Raw and Dream Building? Dread Wolf and Monster Hunter?"

In the eyes of the players, these two opponents are not in the same league at all and do not constitute any strong competition.

Is Shengcai Entertainment competing with Zhumeng?

It's pure insanity.

They don’t know about the alliances between PlayStation, GameBox and DreamBuilder in the global market, and they are even less aware of the role that Shengcai Entertainment plays in it.

But they all knew: Shengcai Entertainment was in big trouble.

Didn't even wait until the next day.

The impact began to appear on the afternoon of the day when the “opposition relationship” became clear:

The Sony Xiaguo branch suddenly received messages from some anchors and ups.

They all said that due to their own reasons, the business order of "Fear Wolf" could not be continued.

They were very sorry about this, but still wanted to cancel the order.

In order to avoid offending Sony's Xiaguo branch as much as possible, they all returned their advance payments, and some people who had signed detailed agreements even readily paid the penalty.

This caused great discomfort to Sony's Xiaguo branch.

They knew very well that the reason these anchors and ups suddenly changed their minds was definitely because of Xu Meng’s preview and the media hype.

If we dig deeper, we will find that the [Honorary Player] system of Dream Building is too attractive to these anchors and ups!

Before DreamCraft, no game company had ever really developed a system like the "Honorary Player" system.

——Of course, there were similar concepts in the gaming circle before, but rather than “honor”, ​​it was more like “VIP”, “big customer”, “氪老认证” and the like.

In the final analysis, it is still something that is done for the purpose of making money and reaping benefits.

But dream building is not like that at all.

Dream Building never takes advantage of [Honorary Players], but takes care of them in every way.

Not to mention game testing, these people are the first to be thought of when there is any new hardware, and holographic equipment can be given away as soon as it is requested.

With the [Honorary Player] ID card, you can even go straight into the Dream Building Company and even run to Xu Meng's office and knock on the door.

The most outrageous thing is: in the Spring Festival red envelopes sent by Xu Meng, the money drawn by [Honorary Players] is guaranteed to be higher than that of ordinary players!
This is truly treating [Honorary Players] as one of your own.

Because of this special treatment, countless players are longing for this recognition.

It’s like many painters checking in. Every time a character is released in "Frost and Snow Project", they will draw one character, without missing any.

During festivals, illustrations with corresponding themes will be drawn for the characters.

A large number of highly skilled anchors fight in "Lord of War" every day, working harder than at work.

Not to mention the wealthy kryptonians.

I must buy one copy of everything that Zhumeng sells, whether it is software or hardware.

……

Zhumeng did not intend to gain any benefit from the [Honorary Players], but instead reaped far more benefits than that.

Many companies in the industry want to learn how to build dreams and create something similar.

But the Dream Building system is tied to a huge player base, outrageous technical background, and Xu Meng's unique personal charm.

Simply giving benefits to specific players is nothing but imitating others.

Unfortunately, there is no definite standard for the "Honorary Players" of Dream Building, and success or failure depends entirely on the words of the boss Xu Meng.

Xu Meng might not say anything about helping "Fear Wolf" at this critical juncture - after all, it is a normal business cooperation, and the anchors and up-masters also have to eat.

But there is probably no hope for [Honorary Player].

After all, if loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal!

Any anchor or up who still has ideas about [Honorary Player] is absolutely unwilling to stand on the side of Xu Meng's opponent at this time.

Even if he is just an opponent hyped up by the media!

The staff of Sony's Xiaguo branch saw all of this clearly.

But there is nothing they can do.

It is said that the conflicts hyped by the media are all fake, and that DreamWorks and Sony actually have a very good relationship?

Or is it that Xu Meng is actually very broad-minded and not petty at all?

They themselves don't believe this!
Far away in Edmonton, Gary, who had just finally fallen asleep, was woken up by a phone call again. He learned that the hole he had just patched with great difficulty was poked again by Xu Meng.

But this time, he was unexpectedly less anxious.

Instead, he threw down his phone and fell asleep.

……

Sony's Xiaguo branch was thrown into a state of panic by an event preview from Xu Meng.

Xu Meng herself was not affected at all.

I'm already sitting in the investigation base of "Monster Hunter" and starting to distribute weapons with everyone.

Before the assignment, Qi Huahua, who had a clear understanding of her own abilities, asked: "Boss Xu, after choosing the weapons, should we rehearse?"

"Rehearsal? What rehearsal?" Xu Meng asked back.

Qihuahua was stunned. "Tomorrow's big hunt! Don't we need to fight it a few times in advance to familiarize ourselves with the BOSS's combat mechanics?"

Xu Meng shook her head, and in Qi Huahua's desperate eyes, she said calmly, "No need."

"We want to present the most realistic hunting process to everyone."

"What if... we can't win? If we can't win in the global live broadcast, the publicity effect will be affected." Qi Huahua tried to persuade Xu Meng to change his mind.

Xu Meng smiled and encouraged her: "How could that be! I believe in everyone's ability!"

"If all else fails, there are still cats!"

Qihuahua closed her eyes in despair.
