The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 583 Xu Meng is cheating! A big step for the pants-taking party! (asking for monthly tickets)
Xu Meng did what he said. He took out his cell phone and called the laboratory and the [Rejuvenation] project team.

Xiao Meng sat beside him obediently, smiling and blinking.

Decided not to remind him that “few young people like to work”.

Today, the [Rejuvenation] project team has more than doubled in size, and the main body has moved out of Xu Meng's laboratory.

The team now includes a large number of the country's top experts in brain science, neurology, neural algorithms, psychology, psychopathology and other fields.

These experts were all confused when they arrived, but after they figured out the situation, they became extremely excited and worked so hard on their research that they forgot to eat and sleep.

The last time I checked the briefing, [neurotherapy for depression] was already in small-scale clinical trials.

Compared to their current mission, lowering the age threshold for the [Rejuvenation] function is not even a new mission.

It is just repeating the security verification that has already been done on a larger scale and with a more rigorous process.

Xu Meng quickly explained the requirements.

“OK, in the next month, this feature will be made available to all users!”

Xu Meng put down her phone and pinched Xiao Meng's face.

Xiao Meng shook her head, "Master, are you going to lower the price?"

As the little guy spoke, he pulled out the messages asking when the price of [Rejuvenation] would drop.

These sounds are quite loud.

Some come from the media, and some come from users.

Everyone thinks that since the "super server" is so powerful and has so much computing power, it is very reasonable to lower the price of [Rejuvenation].

But Xu Meng shook his head decisively.

“It’s impossible to lower the price.”

"We might have to blow up a rocket next, so we have to prepare enough money."

In order to accelerate the advancement of the [Aurora Communication Network], with the promotion of higher-level departments and massive investment from Xu Meng, it has been carried out in parallel on multiple fronts.

While the communication satellite is being developed, the production line is being prepared.

Three new rocket launch sites and six rockets were built simultaneously.

——At the technical exchange meeting, there was even a radical expert who, after learning of Xu Meng's "unlimited" determination, proposed "simultaneously developing 20 vertical recovery configurations and conducting more than 30 intentional crash tests per month."

Xu Meng thought it was OK.

——It sounds exciting just by listening to it!

But this idea was suppressed by Wu Shuang.

She felt that this person was taking advantage of Xu Meng and wanted to take advantage of a wealthy dog ​​owner.

That definitely won’t work!
After several rounds of discussion, the number of three launch sites and six rockets was temporarily decided - after all, manpower is limited.

Xia Country is indeed not short of people, but there are never enough talents in cutting-edge fields.

Therefore, Xu Meng invested a large sum of money in the training of aerospace talents.

All added up, it would be over hundreds of billions.

Under the influence of these expenses, Xu Meng also had the rare evil idea of ​​"cutting some leeks".

Should he lower the price at this time?
Don't even think about it!
Xiao Meng nodded and showed him the players' questions about the alien fleet.

Xu Meng shook her head again: "You can't tell them this."

He reached out and held Xiao Meng's head: "Don't look at it, today's work is over, let's go to the holographic park for a walk."

"By the way, let's see everyone's reaction to the little blind girl's lifelike robot."

"Great!" Xiao Meng waved her hand, and all the holographic windows in the room disappeared at the same time.

A big sun hat also appeared on her head.

……

……

When Xu Meng and Xiao Meng finished their work and secretly went to the holographic park to walk the little blind girl, the players finally remembered:
I forgot one thing!

Today's updates include not only major projects such as [Genesis], [Digital Planet], [Genesis Engine], and [Intelligent NPC Moral Firewall].

There are a few more small projects that will be updated before the conference -

[Ancient Pagoda of Yongning Temple], [Steampunk Whale], and [Ancient Roman Super Baths]!

The ancient pagoda of Yongning Temple had been burned to ashes, so if you wanted to see it you had to wait until the next day.

The steampunk whale can be seen just by looking up.

But this thing has been flying in the sky. Although it is not as high as the space station, it is not easy to get up there.

In comparison, the ancient Roman super baths were much simpler -

With just 200 credits, you can enter the public bath as much as you want!
The private baths are more expensive, but they only cost 500 credits, and you can bathe as often as you want with no time limit.

As long as the user stays on Mansheng for a full month, the threshold is almost non-existent.

So soon, the super bathhouse became crowded with people!
Players walked up the marble steps, passed through the heavy wooden door, and entered the bathhouse one after another.

Anchors such as Brave Sniper, Huanyue, Happy Superman, Dragon City Flying General, etc. were also invited by Kabo to the bathhouse to discuss the ceasefire with Niiiko and Stewart.

——The temporary ceasefire was only held to give face to Boss Xu.

The three buildings, the Twin Towers and the Yongning Temple Ancient Pagoda, are placed here. If there is no communication, the war may never stop in the future.

So there was this "bathhouse diplomacy".

In comparison, the seven-flowered flower is not as open.

She still insists on her precarious and elusive virtual anchor persona.

Things like "live broadcast of bathing" were too exaggerated for her.

Even though she knew very well that on overseas live streaming platforms - even serious live streaming platforms for all ages - there had been people doing live broadcasts of themselves bathing in swimsuits for a long time.

Not to mention the female anchors, even ordinary female players and female users, many people don’t dare to walk into this bathhouse immediately.

——After all, it is well known that the sprawling city is a lawless place.

On the first day of the super bathhouse opening, there will definitely be a lot of perverts!
Many people have concerns before they are sure about the safety and privacy here.

Of course, this does not include the well-known "sex maniac" Xiao Huajiao.

The girl rushed into the bathhouse as soon as possible, and wondered if she could invite the virtual character to take a bath with her.

The sex picture expert Penguin had similar ideas to her and was also one of the first players to rush to the super bathhouse.

Before entering the bathhouse, he sent an invitation letter to Tang Qian, a famous news anchor in Mansheng City and a contracted anchor of the Dream Building Game.

Invite her to experience the ancient Roman style bathhouse.

Of course, this was just a shot in the dark, and he didn't expect Tang Qian to really agree.

After delivering the invitation, he didn't even wait and walked straight into the super bathhouse.

There is no need to say much about the bathing environment - the classical solemnity of Roman architecture is overwhelming, as if you have walked into the bathhouse of the gods.

The penguins first chose the public bath.

Then I was extremely disappointed to find out: in this damn place, players really have to take a shower in swimming trunks!

It is also thoughtful to let players choose the appearance of their swimming trunks.

"Isn't this nonsense?!"

"Who wears swimming trunks to the bathhouse?"

"Was this bath designed by someone from the South? So introverted?"

"This isn't even mixed bathing... why are we still tabooing this when it's all men?"

The penguin was speechless.

Although everyone had expected this to happen before coming in, they still felt extremely disappointed.

Complaints one after another.

Unexpectedly, these complaints accidentally triggered the keywords!

The bathhouse attendant, who had been lowering his head to lead the way for him, wearing a robe and a headscarf, suddenly raised his head and said in a low voice: "Sir, do you want to go to the mixed bathing area?"

"???"

The penguin became excited instantly.

"Really?"

"Yes! Of course! I really want to go!"

"Sir, this way." The waiter quietly led the penguin away from the main road and towards the path shaded by green plants.

It was not until we walked into a small narrow room that he whispered, "This bathhouse actually has more than just an above-ground area. There's also a more secret bathhouse underground."

“Distinguished guests will discuss important matters there and enjoy more thoughtful service.”

"The mixed bathing area you want also exists."

The penguin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

really!

Which development team of Dream Building doesn’t like to hide things? !
"How?" he asked bluntly.

The waiter lowered his head again: "It is only open to the most distinguished guests. Ordinary guests cannot be brought in."

A question mark appeared on the penguin's head.

Why did you tell me specifically that I can’t go in?
Are you mocking me?

He grabbed the waiter's robe, lifted it up and pressed it against the wall: "You look down on me!?"

——After all, he has a double organ mutation, so lifting a chicken is easy for him.

The waiter obviously didn't expect that his brain was so bad, and he was so scared that he kept explaining: "No, sir! How dare I look down on you?" "But I'm just a low-level waiter and must abide by the rules here."

"I can only take you down if you become a 'honored guest' first."

Oh, and the side quests.

The Penguin nodded in understanding and put the waiter down again.

"Is that so? Then tell me, how can I become a distinguished guest?"

He asked, ready to fight.

But the waiter said, "You just need to prove your financial ability."

A prompt box popped up in front of Penguin:

[Do you want to spend 3 credit points to become a VIP customer of the Ancient Roman Super Baths?]
[whether]
"Good fellow! Are you waiting for me here?"

"I was also saying that 200 credit points per person is so cheap for such a big place."

"So 200 is just for basic services, and if you want something exciting you have to spend 150 times the price??"

Penguins keep complaining.

3 credit points is a lot!

That was already more than half of the balance in his account.

But at this time, can I still choose [no]?
"Forget it, I'm here now." The penguin pinched his nose and handed over the money.

"Can you take me there now?" He looked at the waiter.

"Yes, yes." The waiter nodded repeatedly, "Only 1000 credits."

"?" Penguin's eyes turned dangerous. "Are you kidding me? You want another 1000?"

"It is like this, sir..." The waiter wiped his sweat nervously, "That was the money for becoming a VIP, and this... is the money for entering the bath."

"You fucking idiot..." At this moment, the penguin really wanted to draw his sword and hit him.

But the bathtub is a safe zone. Not only can weapons not be taken out, but the dragon souls are restricted to the baby state and cannot fight.

Besides, I have already spent 3 yuan, I can’t give up halfway just because of 1000 credit points, right?
Penguin gritted his teeth and handed over the money.

I thought to myself, this is finally okay, right?

Unexpectedly, the waiter took out a black blindfold and said, "Sorry, sir, the path to the underground area is the secret of the bathhouse. Please cover your eyes and I will lead you there."

Penguin took the blindfold and with great effort managed not to strangle the waiter with it.

He covered his eyes and raised his hands.

The waiter held his arm and led him step by step towards the secret passage.

It was the first time the penguin walked blindfolded, and he was quite uncomfortable, always worried about bumping into something accidentally.

But the wait staff was very professional and walked a steady path all the way.

When going up or down stairs, or when there are obstacles on the road, you will be reminded in time.

After a while, the penguin felt the human voices fade away and the surroundings became quieter and quieter.

After walking down two flights of stairs and passing through a long and narrow corridor, I heard the noisy voices again.

But when he got closer, the noisy voices suddenly disappeared.

The surroundings became very quiet again.

Before he could think about why this happened, the waiter suddenly stopped.

"Dear guest, welcome to the underground bath."

"This is the mixed bathing area."

“I hope you can spend a pleasant day here.”

The penguins can't wait.

He pulled off the blindfold and looked towards the bathtub he was waiting for with shining eyes.

Gorgeous and beautiful lady!

A lovely female guest!

A lovable female slave!

A bold and hot female player!

above……

None at all!!

The penguin looked around in the bathing pool in disbelief, hoping to find even one member of the opposite sex.

but……

No!

The entire 15-meter by 20-meter large bathhouse was filled with men!
"Wardfa!"

"Where's the mixed bathing area? Where are the women?"

"I spent $31,000 and you show me this? Isn't this pure fraud?!"

"I can see a man's butt even from the ground!"

"Where's that waiter? Where did he go? I'm going to kill him!"

"No! Where is the Consumers Association? Where is Boss Xu? I want to complain to the development team!!!"

……

"Hahahahaha!!!"

A large group of brothers at the scene burst into laughter at the same time.

The penguin became even more upset and started to complain crazily.

But the waiter who collected the money had already disappeared from the scene.

He stood by the bathtub, wanting to cry but unable to.

That's more than half of the money in his account!

An old man lying on a marble bed, being scraped by an NPC with a horn, looked at him in such misery that he suppressed his laughter and said to comfort him: "This is indeed a mixed bathing area. Look, there is a sign over there."

"But no female players came. All the players were men."

"So strictly speaking: this is not a scam, it's just unfortunate that there are no female customers today."

"You won't win even if you sue."

"Don't even think about complaining to Boss Xu."

"I seriously doubt that this thing was made by Boss Xu!"

Penguin was silent for a long time, and finally expressed his feelings in one word:

"Boiled!"

After cursing, he walked down to the bathtub silently and started taking a bath.

——Since you are here.

If you don't soak it, wouldn't the money be wasted?
The good news is: not long after he entered the bathtub, he saw another blindfolded player walking in led by a waiter.

Now he finally understood why the place went from noisy to quiet as soon as he approached.

Because now, he, like the other brothers, has calmed down tacitly.

Everyone watched in silence as the new unlucky guy took off his blindfold.

As expected, after being stunned for a few seconds, the guy immediately started cursing:
"Fuck! Is this mixed bathing??"

"Fraud! Fraud!!"

"my money!!!"

……

"Hahahahaha!!"

Penguin and the other guys burst out laughing.
-
While the penguins were enjoying themselves, the players in the above-ground bathing area also discovered something surprising:

Swimsuits are still required in public baths.

But in the private bath, you can really take off all your clothes!
A large number of players suddenly became excited!
Especially the "pants-off party" who have appeared since the opening of the Sprawling City and have grown up almost in sync with the development of the virtual world, were so excited that they celebrated the New Year on the spot!

They issued a declaration in Mengjin:

“This is a small step towards building a dream, but it is also a big step towards taking off pants!”

"My pants are already off, how far can playing poker be?!"

"Make a wish! This is the year I can play poker with my Cyber ​​wife!"
-
While the pants-taking party was "cyber streaking" beside the private bath, the "bathhouse diplomacy" of Niiiko, Kabo, the brave sniper, Yan Luo and others also came to a successful conclusion.

——No matter what the previous grudges were, let’s put them aside.

After today, neither side will take the initiative to organize people to carry out malicious attacks on the Twin Towers and the Yongning Temple Ancient Pagoda.

After reaching the "Xiami Player Non-Aggression Agreement", just when I wanted to enjoy the Roman-style massage service, I found that Indian netizens were still scolding me online.

And he was scolding both the Xia country players and the US country players at the same time.

——They even overcame the language barrier and went to the Xiaguo Internet to curse.

Everyone present looked at each other, and the same thought suddenly came to their mind:

"Teach these assholes a lesson?"

"necessary!"
