This video was posted on Pilipili by a solo player named [Electronic Music Edison].
It was posted at 9 AM, the earliest of the three trending videos.
He uploaded the entire process of his "encountering a white tiger, being killed by the white tiger, and realizing from the announcement that the tiger was Xu Meng."
At the beginning of the video, netizens were a bit angry watching Electronic Music Edison wielding a wooden stick, fiercely smashing at the pure white tiger that was only knee-high.
The screen was filled with critical comments:
"The little tiger is so cute, how can you do that?"
"Stop! It's not even an adult yet!"
"Too much! Too brutal!"
Electronic Music Edison tried to swing the stick, but only hit his own leg.
This little tiger was extremely agile, constantly circling Electronic Music Edison, dodging and counterattacking.
The player's health points rapidly decreased.
Finally, the white tiger pounced on him, slicing open the back of his neck with a claw, emptying his health points.
Then came the system announcement—
[Player [Electronic Music Edison] was hunted by [White Tiger (Xu Meng)], and the遺物scattered at (517, 449)]
Electronic Music Edison said in the video:
"I solemnly remind everyone of one thing—the [White Tiger (Xu Meng)] mentioned in the system announcement is exactly what it sounds like!"
"White Tiger is not a code name!"
"Xu Meng really turned into a tiger! And a small one, only knee-high to me."
"Although I failed, I feel like it's really easy to kill! I suggest everyone go try it."
"After being eliminated, I remembered one thing: Didn't Boss Xu say that players killed by him would receive a 50 yuan condolence payment?"
"I thought even a mosquito's leg is still meat, and besides, 50 yuan is a lot for a poor guy like me, so I went to the event page to get the money, hoping to soothe my wounded little heart."
"Then, I saw this—"
The video screen switched to the [Global Survival Competition] event page.
Under the eye-catching titles of [Survival Master], [Hunting Master], and [Treasure Hunting Master], were the smaller [Troublemaker] and [Condolence Payment].
Electronic Music Edison clicked on [Condolence Payment], and a small window popped up—
[Invite Friends, Help with Withdrawal!]
[Your Current Friend Assistance Progress: (0 / 1)]
[Click Here to Generate Your Wonderful Death Moment with One Click, Share it with Friends, and Invite Them to Help You!]
Electronic Music Edison looked at this webpage prompt and was silent for several seconds.
Suddenly, he complained very loudly:
"Listen to this! Is Xu Meng speaking human language?!!"
"Generate a wonderful death moment with one click?? Share it with friends to help??"
"This is not for advertising and attracting new users at all! This show-off just wants to show off his kill compilation!"
"And he wants the players he killed to actively help him show it off!"
"This is killing and humiliating at the same time!!"
——
In the internet age, such activities that require friend assistance are not uncommon.
Netizens have seen quite a few of them.
But generally speaking, these "friend assistance," "help with bargaining," and "like and withdraw" interactions are all for marketing and attracting new users.
The core purpose is to get more people to download the app or participate in the activity.
To ensure the effect, it often requires a dozen or even dozens of people to help, making the conditions quite harsh.
But Xu Meng's is obviously different—
Only one person needs to like it to withdraw the money. Compared to shopping websites, there is basically no threshold.
Therefore, the players didn't think he was trying to be a jerk and not give the money. They all just found it funny:
"So cheap, hahaha!"
"Killing once in the game isn't enough, you have to make people socially dead again!"
"Generating a wonderful death moment with one click, what a creative phrase!"
"I've said it before, Xu Meng's brain circuits are completely different from normal people!"
......
Electronic Music Edison wasn't really angry either.
After complaining loudly, he also said in the video: "Everyone, please click on the link to help me out, thank you! This is very important to me!"
This was obviously a joke.
Almost no one would be stumped by this request.
Even if you are a pure lone wolf with no friends, you can easily solve it by posting on Mengjin.
A ready-made proof is—
Throughout the whole day, Xu Meng successively hunted 38 players.
That's 1900 yuan in total, easily sent out, and no players posted saying that Xu Meng was disgusting.
Everyone who mentioned this was just joking and playing with the meme.
In the comment section of the video, after a while of discussing Xu Meng's bad taste, everyone quickly shifted the focus of the discussion to the truly important information—
Xu Meng's true form is a little tiger!
It does look easy to kill!
That's 100,000 yuan.
—Even if you lose, there's a guaranteed 50 yuan.
Buying the game only cost 168 yuan. Being killed by Xu Meng once directly recovers one-third of the cost!
Who wouldn't want to try?
But the biggest problem now is—people outside can't enter the server, and the people inside are constantly exploring and fighting nervously, so they don't have time to browse social networks.
It wasn't until the truce time came and the players in the competition server went offline to eat that they learned of this news on a large scale.
So one by one, they became excited and decided that as soon as the truce time was over, they would immediately set off to find Xu Meng!
Compared to the [Emperor Sandworm] and [Nightmare Rain Squid], which are hundreds of meters long, Xu Meng, this little tiger, looks too easy to kill!
The players were eager to try, impatiently waiting.
As soon as the truce time ended, they returned to the server one after another, packing their bags and embarking on a journey to hunt the white tiger.
Many player teams that were originally fighting fiercely also reached a "ceasefire agreement" and turned to find Xu Meng first.
For a time, tens of thousands of people were looking for Xu Meng in the entire competition map.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be difficult to find a person with so many people digging three feet into the ground.
But no matter how hard they searched, no one saw the shadow of the white tiger, and Xu Meng's name no longer appeared in the death announcements.
Everyone thought that Xu Meng was scared and had given up hunting, hiding in a very hidden place to avoid the limelight.
Therefore, they searched even more carefully.
But they didn't know that Xu Meng hadn't even logged in after the truce time ended...
......
Because of the super high popularity of the [Hunting the Billionaire] event around the world, [Nebula Commando], as the opponent, also died on the spot, and the popularity and sales of [War of Kings] once again ushered in a rapid rise.
In one day, new sales exceeded million copies!
Thanks to this, the total sales of [War of Kings] finally crossed the key node.
When the system prompt popped up, Xu Meng was still eating dinner in big gulps, his mind full of what to upgrade next—
Each time the white tiger he transforms into successfully hunts a beast, he will get an upgrade opportunity on the basis of increasing in size.
You can choose one of [Size], [Development], [Physique], [Weapon], [Inspiration], and [Skill] to upgrade.
The first four don't need to be explained much:
[Size] is just growing up one more time.
[Development] is to increase the natural development speed—the white tiger will naturally become stronger even if it doesn't hunt, but the speed is relatively slow.
[Physique] mainly affects physical attributes such as health points, stamina, defense, strength, and recovery.
[Weapon] specifically refers to the two natural weapons of "fangs" and "claws."
The last two are slightly more special:
[Inspiration] is essentially a lottery.
You may draw a special skill of the white tiger, or you may draw a random enhancement. In the worst case, you won't draw anything and waste an opportunity in vain.
[Skill] is used to enhance the skills drawn from [Inspiration] or the skills obtained after hunting beasts.
After a day of fighting, his size at this time, not counting the tail, is already more than three meters long, and he has also drawn the skills [Regeneration], [Intimidation], and [Wind Control].
His combat power has been greatly enhanced.
But he was still not satisfied, hesitating whether to strengthen his physique to increase his meatiness next, or take a gamble to see if he could draw a [Fire Control] skill.
By then, he wouldn't have to be afraid of being besieged while breathing fire and controlling wind.
It was at this time that the system prompt suddenly popped up—
—

“Finally completed!”
At this moment, Xu Meng couldn't help but beam with joy.
Because of the twists and turns caused by the hardware, this day came really too late.
Fortunately, it was finally completed!
The most important bonus reward was also obtained!
He immediately put the game aside and began to study the two brand-new black technologies of the mission rewards—
“As expected, the reward for exceeding the mission is far more valuable than the basic reward!”
【Dream Maker】 looks more advanced than 【Holographic Display Device】!
Xu Meng was not in a hurry to "unzip" and accept the technology.
—The amount of content in these technical materials is very large, and accepting them puts a lot of pressure on the brain.
Xu Meng had been fighting in the game all day, his nerves were always in a state of excitement, and fatigue had been accumulating.
At this time, receiving detailed technical information would not only be inefficient but would also likely cause a headache.
It's better to have a good night's rest, adjust the state, and then receive the specific information.
Let's take a look at the general information first—
【Holographic Display Device】, the name is simple and unpretentious, but the effect is quite amazing!
There is also holographic display technology in current society.
However, most of them need to record holographic image data in advance, and then use light sources and photosensitive media to reproduce the hologram.
The production cost is high, the equipment size is large, and the viewing distance and angle are limited.
Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as "pseudo-holography".
It is a technology with bright prospects but many difficulties, and can only be described as "having great potential" for the time being.
But the 【Holographic Display Device】 that Xu Meng got is very different!
This is a highly mature product.
It is small in size, low in cost, and the viewing distance and angle are completely unrestricted!
It can not only be set indoors to display highly realistic holographic images, but also be fixed on the belt, and the device can be activated anytime, anywhere.
—Even on the street in broad daylight!
And the key to all this lies in: a medium that is invisible to the naked eye, completely harmless to the human body, but extremely sensitive to electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency.
Dispersing this medium into the air and then emitting electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency can change its optical properties and present a lifelike holographic image under the illumination of a light source!
This change is real-time, with almost no visual afterimage.
This means: it can completely display high frame rate dynamic images!
—The actual technical details are much more complicated than this, but Xu Meng can only understand so much for the time being before completely "unpacking" the technology.
But that's enough!
He had long been annoyed by that VR headset!
The sense of immersion is indeed extremely strong, but it is really uncomfortable to wear it for a long time.
And now, he can finally eliminate this thing!
While eliminating it, the sense of immersion will not only not decrease, but will also increase dramatically!
With this technology alone, Xu Meng felt that he had made a lot of money and deeply felt that the hard work during this period was not in vain.
But the 【Dream Maker】, which is the reward for exceeding the mission, is even more exaggerated than this!
Although the 【Holographic Display Device】 has an exaggerated performance effect, there is still a technical prototype in reality, and there is some reference.
But the 【Dream Maker】 is really a "celestial technology" that does not exist in reality at all!
In reality, the most cutting-edge research related to "dreams" is only to transmit simple information between two lucid dream experimenters through a specific device.
This progress is more than 108,000 miles away from the 【Dream Maker】!
【Dream Maker】 can allow users to enter the same dream, freely communicate, act, and cooperate in the dream, and clearly remember everything in the dream after waking up.
Xu Meng had only seen this incredible device in movies in his previous life.
However, the 【Dream Maker】 given by the system also has some differences from the props in the movie.
One of the most obvious differences is:
In the movie, as long as the same device is used and hypnotic agents are injected into all users at the same time, everyone can enter the same dream.
But the 【Dream Maker】 technology given by the system not only requires injecting sleepwalking agents at the same time but also requires wearing an electroencephalogram signal collector.
—This electroencephalogram signal collector looks like a hat and can be easily worn on the head.
Xu Meng is not worried about this electroencephalogram signal collector.
Zhang Dashao's family can make this thing.
But sleepwalking agents…
This thing is obviously beyond Zhang Dashao's ability.
Yuanyang Group does not seem to have invested in medical laboratories.
And the special medium required for the 【Holographic Display Device】 would probably be difficult for Yuanyang Group to make even if they wanted to.
[Nerve Roaming Company] is also likely to be difficult.
Although Xu Meng regarded this company as a "scientific research unit" at the beginning of its establishment, he has always been willing to invest money in digging people.
But…
What he has been recruiting are engineers, and the content of the research is also the haptic synchronization suit and war simulator optimization plan.
Who would have thought that suddenly they would need to engage in pharmaceutical manufacturing?
Even if the technical information given by the system provides the manufacturing method, it will not be easy to reproduce it.
If you want to launch it on the market, you also need to do drug testing, filing, and other things.
Just thinking about it makes people's heads hurt.
If there is no experienced and professionally competent person to lead the team, it will only be difficult!
Of course, no matter how difficult it is, Xu Meng has no intention of retreating.
These things must be created!
He even regrets that this technology came too late.
If it had come earlier, he could have combined the game and the dream to bring players an unprecedented super immersive experience.
Just imagine, if the 【Nightmare Rain Squid】 appeared in a dream game—
The player is walking well in the continuous drizzle, and suddenly hears a viscous squirming sound.
Looking up, a series of slippery tentacles hang down from the dense clouds and wrap around the player's body.
The mucus permeates the clothes and is smeared on the face and hands.
The wet rain is mixed with the salty and fishy smell of the sea…
When being dragged into the sky by the tentacles, the raindrops hit the face, bringing a bone-chilling coolness.
Until the end, facing the true form of the nightmare in the clouds!
Based on the characteristics of dreams, it is even possible to directly transmit "fear" and "disgust" hints to players!
Richer audio-visual experience, all-round and no-dead-angle tactile feedback, subtle hints that go deep into the soul…
The combination of all this will inevitably create an unprecedented gaming experience!
Xu Meng's first reaction was to give 【Age of Madness】 a big upgrade!
Let the players feel the wild battle of close combat with super behemoths.
That must be an unforgettable experience that can be remembered for a lifetime!
He even can't wait to try it now!
Thinking of this, he couldn't even bother to study the next system mission, and regardless of whether it was a weekend night, he called Yin Zhiyuan.
He, Xu Meng, is here for privileges!
These are combined today.
