Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

Furthermore, it's advisable not to play games while sleeping at night, because you'll feel like you've stayed up all night the next day.

However, there are also many advantages. For example, gaming headsets take up very little space, so you can play casually while lying in bed, and they are very cheap, really cheap!

Although prices will vary from country to country due to tax issues, if calculated in Chinese Yuan, the normal price would be around two thousand yuan per unit.

Well, it's only the price of a Switch, so it's really a great deal.

In the past six months, one million gaming pods and thirty million gaming helmets have been produced.

Moreover, these weren't produced out of blind confidence; these two devices had already started global pre-sales on the Starry Sky Games Mall several months ago.

The result of the pre-sales was that 500,000 gaming pods were pre-sold, and gaming helmets were approaching 10 million units.

These are all places that have collected a 20% deposit. If the final payment is not made, the deposit will not be refunded to the player.

So barring any unforeseen circumstances, no one would choose to cancel their order.

Of course, although the deposit is high, their after-sales service is also very good. Within half a month of receiving the item, as long as you don't like the equipment and there is no malicious damage, you can get a full refund.

Soon, the company's report ended, and Tsuchimikado Fuyu began to assign tasks to each department. Although he had already discussed these arrangements with Tohru and the others, he only needed to express his opinion at the meeting.

"Then the company will start operating at full capacity, and the publicity department will prepare various publicity plans. Within this week, I want the whole world to hear our voice."

The gaming pod and gaming helmet will officially go on sale next Monday at 8:00 AM. Those who placed pre-orders can be notified to make the final payment tomorrow at 8:00 AM. The deadline is next Wednesday. Give them a week, that should be enough.

The gaming devices also need to arrive at the various warehouses within this week. We have notified the logistics department to fully cooperate and ensure that the devices are delivered to customers within three days of their purchase.

Starry Sky Chat, Starlight Live Streaming, and Galaxy Short Videos will officially launch on major platforms worldwide next Wednesday.

The Midgard platform and SAO officially launched on the Starry Sky Game Store at 8:00 AM on December 23rd. The Midgard platform will release it for free, while SAO will be a one-time purchase with a price of 7,000 yen, which is about 54 US dollars.

NWO was officially released on December 30th. This game was released for free, and the two games were released one week apart.

Then, PUBG will be released for free, and Monster Hunter will be a buy-to-play game with a lower price, tentatively set at 5,000 yen. Although these two games haven't started closed beta testing yet, some promotional materials can be released.

But don't forget the primary and secondary relationships.

As for other filler games, they will be released gradually starting in January, one every two days. The release order can be decided by player voting...

Tsuchimikado Fuyu talked a lot, but their main focus was on the two games SAO and NWO. Although SAO was a buyout, that doesn't mean there won't be profits later.

However, it's not an in-app purchase item, but a transaction fee.

This game will definitely involve offline cash transactions in the future. To ensure the safety of players' transactions, Starry Sky Mall has specially opened up a section for item trading and even an auction section.

The trading platform, Tsuchimikado, charges a 3% transaction fee, making money through volume, while the auction charges a 5% fee.

As for NWO, it has a lot of in-app purchase items, which are specifically designed to rip off whales.

Chapter 1247 Lucky Players and Whales

With the promotion and release of SAO and NWO, the whole world is now discussing related topics.

This was followed by a surge in sales of gaming devices and various full-dive games, while the Starlight series of three social software programs successfully established themselves worldwide.

Netizens from all over the world have formed chat groups of all sizes. Thanks to the automatic translation technology added by Da Vinci, communication between them is completely free of language barriers.

Of course, this only applies to text translation. If it's voice or video chat, then there's no way to do it.

At this moment, a certain SAO (Sword Art Online) chat group was discussing related topics.

"Damn it!! Why do I have to rebuild my character if I die in SAO? I finally reached level 10, and then I made a mistake, and a week's worth of effort was wasted. I'm going to complain."

"Heh! If complaints were effective, the authorities would have changed it long ago."

"Garbage! The game's official website says it's a game only for the strong. If you're not good enough, go play NWO!"

"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to start a fight? Even NWO has technical skills, you know?"

"But in NWO, I believe more in the power of money and luck than in technology."

"Who says that? My Great Fireball Cult is the first to disagree!"

"I remember there's a pay-to-win guy among your fire mages called Flame Emperor, right? Do you think you can beat her just by skill?"

"I……"

"And that Yaprico who spent tens of millions to unlock the hidden class—Five Elements Mage, can you withstand one of her explosive spells?"

"I……"

"And another thing, that shield-wielding girl that the pro players are talking about, can your little fireball even break through her defense?"

"You guys are deliberately picking a fight, aren't you?"

"I'm getting anxious."

"I'm getting anxious." ×N

"Stop arguing! The official statement already says that the two games have different target audiences. Stop showing off your superiority!"

"But I feel like playing SAO is such a waste. It's okay now that I'm low level, but once I'm high level, if I accidentally die, all my previous efforts will be for nothing. I feel like I'll break down."

"..."

"..."

"..." × N

What do you mean by this?

"Hey, don't you know that there's now a profession called prop manager?"

"What is this? A hidden class? Or a special NPC?"

"This was created by the players themselves. They help adventure players store their items and charge a fee. To ensure their safety, they will not leave the safe zone."

If a player unfortunately dies, they can contact them after recreating their account to retrieve their items and avoid excessive losses.

"It sounds a bit unreliable. It seems like this thing is very reliant on credibility, and it's easy to get scammed."

"So this profession is just emerging! But the future looks promising."

"That's true. If you don't trust these people, you can join a guild. I think those guilds will definitely come up with similar methods."

"Guilds? Didn't the official announcement say that this feature would only be available after defeating the fifth-floor boss?"

"Young man, don't you go online? People have already started setting it up, and I heard that quite a few top gaming guilds have joined SAO."

"I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to keep up. Speaking of bosses, I heard a few days ago that a group of people started a challenge meeting. Have you defeated the first level boss yet?"

"..."

"..."

"..." × N

"What's wrong with you now?"

"Uh...it failed."

"Why? Wasn't it said that this team not only had beta testers leading the way, but also organized over a thousand people? Is this boss really that hard to beat?"

"It's a problem with the game mechanics. We didn't expect that the BOSS would unlock hidden attributes when the number of players reached a certain level. Otherwise, we could have overwhelmed the BOSS with sheer numbers."

"What hidden attribute?"

"Kill someone to recover health!"

"Is it really that perverted?"

"Yeah, we had reduced the BOSS's health bar to half, but then it swept it with one attack and restored its health to full."

"It feels so awful..."

"+1!"

"+2"

"+10086"

"Don't break the formation. Actually, it's not just the BOSS, even the mobs have this hidden attribute. Some will run away when they encounter a lot of people, some will gather their companions, and some will evolve into elite monsters or even mini-BOSSes."

"There are also those who will just self-destruct, preferring death to giving you experience and items. If you encounter one of these, not only will a large number of your people die, but you won't gain anything either. It's disgusting."

"Ah... I sensed pure malice from this game!"

"Yes."

"+1"

"How much is a certain quantity?"

"do not know."

"However, we tested it a few more times, and when the number of people was less than 100, the BOSS did not activate this attribute. The only problem was that when all 100 of us went there, we were wiped out before we could even reduce the BOSS to low health."

"Sigh! Let's keep leveling up!"

"You can also upgrade your equipment."

"I feel that adventure is not for me. I'd rather be a sightseeer. This game's first map alone is so big, and there are so many beautiful landscapes. Most importantly, my level is low, so I won't feel bad if I die."

"But if you go to the higher levels, your rank is too low, and you can't even leave the safe zone."

"..." × N

……

While the online discussion was in full swing, Tsuchimikado Fuyu was sitting on the sofa, chatting with Yaprico and the others.

However, at this time, they were not in the Array Cat Guild group, but in a group called "We are all good friends".

Yes, this group was created by Tsuchimikado Fuyu, and basically all of his close friends are in this group.

Of course, besides this group, he also frequently chats in other groups, such as "Tsuchimikado Family" established by Winette and "Winter's Harem" established by Raphiel.

As their names suggest, one group is for members living in the Tsuchimikado residence, and the other is for Tsuchimikado Fuyu's girlfriends.

There are many other groups, both large and small, such as the Writers' Exchange Group and the Far East Magic Nap Club Group, but they are not as active as these three groups.

At this moment, in the group chat of close friends, everyone was asking Tsuchimikado Fuyu some questions about the game.

Yaprico: "Actually, I've always had a question: why did SAO and NWO have to be released together? Wouldn't that affect the sales and popularity of both games?"

Tsuchimikado Fuyu: "The game type and positioning are different, so overall the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

Xiu Fan: "Speaking of which, why is everyone playing NWO and nobody playing SAO?"
