The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 97 Only Benefits (Second update, please give me a monthly ticket)

The comment section of the latest updates on the official account of "Frost and Snow Project" has been occupied by players' petitions regarding the gameplay of the immortal server.

After Song Zhicheng received Xu Meng's instruction, he replied under the highest-rated comment:
[Feedback has been received, the company is holding an emergency meeting to study it.]
He thought the players would be very dissatisfied and demand more definite promises.

But surprisingly, the players were surprisingly calm.

Some players even tried to persuade those who were dissatisfied:
"Zhumeng has released an update plan before, but the production capacity has been fully utilized and there is no time limit for the construction."

"I believe in the sincerity of DreamBuilding. They will definitely not just talk nonsense. They said they are holding a meeting to study the issue, which means they have some ideas. We just need to wait for the results."

"I don't think DreamBuilder will do this kind of gameplay. It would be too unreasonable to spend a lot of effort on a mode that half of the users can't play."

"It's mainly because it's not profitable, right? It's ridiculous that the entire gameplay of Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt doesn't make money."

……

The players started chatting among themselves and began to analyze whether [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] was profitable or not.

Song Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as I was about to drink some water, my phone suddenly vibrated.

The caller had a note that he had not expected at all—

【Softfort Game Box】

He picked up the phone confused.
-
General Manager's Office.

After Xu Meng finished chatting with Jiang Chengji, he felt that he had done a lot of work, so he took a break with Xiao Meng to relax for a while.

Their way of slacking off, besides playing the watermelon-cutting game together, is to browse various news and gossips according to the keywords on the memo.

I read all the way to the end, and found a piece of overseas news that had just been released.

[Sofort spokesperson made a public statement: In order to meet the changing business needs, Sofort officially closed the DEI department]
"So fast?" Xu Meng was surprised.

He just saw the "rumor" published by "Business Insider" yesterday, and today the rumor was confirmed.

It’s quite efficient!

He quickly skimmed through the news summary and clicked on the video attached to the news.

Inside, the spokesperson for Soford said to the camera expressionlessly:
“SoFort’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion has not changed.”

“Our focus on diversity and inclusion is unwavering, and even as the DEI department closes, we will continue to prioritize accountability and focus on this work.”

"..."

Xu Meng was filled with question marks.

Your attitude towards DEI remains unchanged, your commitment remains unchanged, and you will continue to pay attention.

But the specific approach is to close the department that does this?

Isn't this just lying with open eyes?
Just as he was wondering, Song Zhicheng came running over and knocked on the door again: "Boss, good news!"

"Come in, come in. What's the good news?"

"The person who contacted us before called me again." Song Zhicheng looked excited, "They hope to continue discussing the previous cooperation."

"In order to apologize for the previous setbacks, they are also willing to provide more technicians to assist us in completing the host porting work."

“Among other things, we were invited to Gamescom next month.”

“The Sofort Game Box will play the trailer for Project Frost and Snow at the main booth, and will also provide us with an independent booth!”

"Are you sure you haven't been cheated?" Xu Meng asked.

"?"

Song Zhicheng probably didn't expect Xu Meng to have this reaction. He took out his cell phone suspiciously and checked the call records again.

"That's right, it's the person we discussed cooperation with before."

"That's good." Xu Meng nodded.

Looking at the confident spokesperson of Soford in the news, he felt that this matter was really ridiculous.

The DEI department was just closed over there, but the spokesperson is still talking about their unwavering commitment to diversity.

The company's game box department ignored the previous decision of the DEI department and began to actively promote "Frost and Snow Project".

“What a wonderful world.”

"What about us?" Song Zhicheng was still waiting for Xu Meng's reply. "Of course I agree." Xu Meng nodded, "Why not take the shortcut?"

"But they have a request," Song Zhicheng added.

"any request?"

"Once we log into the game box, we can no longer log into Sony Game Station."

"Host exclusive agreement?" Xu Meng thought about it and thought there was no problem with it.

They only regarded Sony's PlayStation as their competitor and didn't even mention the Nintendo game console, so the Dreamcast simulator was naturally not included.

If Dream Building has other gaming platforms in the future, it will not be included.

"No problem, agree."

Song Zhicheng was about to leave when Xu Meng asked one more question: "They gave us a booth with no requirement that we only promote the Frost and Snow Project, right?"

Song Zhicheng was stunned when he heard this.

"No."

“They don’t know yet that we have a new project.”

"But... isn't it too late for the new project?"

Although Song Zhicheng's main focus is on the "Frost and Snow Project", he also pays attention to new projects.

As far as he knew, the programming team was either developing Project Frost or fixing bugs.

The new project has only a small team of no more than 20 people doing the initial work.

They are only responsible to their boss, and outsiders don't know what their work is about. But anyway, what can a small team of 20 people produce?

"Of course it's too late." Xu Meng shook his head.

“But if we hurry up, we can make a mini demo to let everyone experience the new technology.”

"If all goes well, this will be a great publicity opportunity."

Song Zhicheng had more questions in his mind.

new technology?
What new technology?
But Xu Meng was anxious and urged him to implement the cooperation as soon as possible.

As soon as Song Zhicheng left, Xu Meng quickly sent a message to Zhang Yang: "Is it convenient for you to answer the phone?"

"If you want to speed up the simulator progress, that's not convenient."

Xu Meng laughed immediately and made a phone call without hesitation.

Zhang Yang immediately answered: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"What else could it be? Simulator, Master Zhang, how's the progress?"

——He thought that if there was still time, it would be best to make the body-sensing suit as well.

Of course, the technology of "touching the virtual wife" cannot be demonstrated at foreign game exhibitions first.

Even if it is just holding hands, it must be made public and experienced for the first time in the country.

Otherwise the players will definitely explode.

"It's started. Why, are you in a hurry?"

"Well, I want to use it for the Cologne International Games Fair next month. Can we make it in time?"

"I can definitely do it, but I'm a little worried that this thing of yours will be intercepted by customs."

"Huh?" Xu Meng was stunned. "Customs?"

"yes!!!"

Zhang Yang's desire to complain is off the charts:

"You guys have all these guns and cannons, but you didn't do any certification. And then the new company you registered - [Neuromancer], right? Now it's still a shell company."

"Don't you think there's something wrong?"

"You're going to ship it overseas just by opening your mouth?"

"If I were customs, I would have intercepted it for you!"
