Chapter 249: #249 - No one sleeps tonight! (Except Xu Meng)

Xu Meng is a formidable figure who has performed outrageous stunts like "Burning the Employees"!

Spending millions to create a special effects video so realistic it's indistinguishable from reality.

The moment he exits the virtual world on the deck, he can directly import the pre-made special effects video into the live stream, deceiving the world.

Such an absurd thing, anyone else would definitely not dare to do it.

But if it's Xu Meng…

It's hard to say!

—He's just too unrestrained!

So much so that everyone feels that Xu Meng can do anything outrageous.

But at the same time, Xu Meng has indeed created the [Tactile Synchronization Suit], a device that is almost black technology—just not as exaggeratedly black as the [Holographic Display Device].

Now, he says he has created a holographic display device and is showing the effect to global audiences.

This persuasiveness is also very strong!

Because Xu Meng also values his reputation.

He has also fulfilled all the things he seriously promised, without missing a single one.

These two different viewpoints have created a huge conflict—

Some people think that holographic display is too outrageous and too sci-fi to be realistic.

On the other hand, some people think that Xu Meng is very reliable when he's not messing around, that geniuses can do things beyond ordinary people's imagination, and coupled with their super-desire for holographic displays, they firmly believe that this must be real!

These two groups of people with different opinions soon set off a storm of debate on DreamNet and social networks!

Unsurprisingly—

Because of the virtual city, this digital spectacle, many netizens who came to join in the fun thought it was fake.

Most of the old players of Dream Builder firmly believe that this must be real!

Soon everyone will be able to use holographic display devices!

They even thought about how to use it.

Under Xu Meng's latest post on P-site, a bunch of people asked with passion:

"Boss Xu! Can monsters be summoned, can girls be summoned too?!"

"I don't want monsters! I want the waifu from 'Frost Snow Project'!"

"When will it be on sale? I'll buy it no matter how much it costs! I'll sell a kidney to buy it!"

"How can you bear to let lovers be separated by life and death… I mean, reality and the virtual world!"

… …

In DreamNet, in a very short period of time, a large number of posts imagining living with virtual waifus emerged.

Of course, Xu Meng released too much big news this night, and the players have already entered the New Year mode in advance.

There is an explosion of content for discussion:

Some people are posting to analyze the monsters in the 'Monster Hunter' trailer.

—In the trailer, Xu Meng did not specify the names of those monsters, so everyone can only guess based on their appearance.

So, players with a background in paleontology began to analyze which ancient creatures these monsters have characteristics of.

And then speculate on the monster design ideas in "Monster Hunter".

… …

Some people analyze the combat methods of the new game based on the interaction between hunters and monsters in the trailer.

They quickly summarized rich elements such as [Search], [Trap], [Grappling Hook], [Stealth], [Terrain], [Weapon Melee].

At the same time, they once again expressed doubts about the "vertical axis" combat action with height differences.

… …

Some people are desperately trying to get people to follow the official account of "Monster Hunter".

They want to quickly reach 10 million followers to unlock the next "Gameplay Trailer".

Some people analyze the current development status of holographic display technology.

Through existing technologies, they speculate on which technology path Xu Meng adopted.

Some people are also discussing where the "Sky Arena" is.

Virtual City, new games, new devices.

All are huge surprises that are exciting!

—It would be better if there were no words [Limited to Xia Country Players].

But Xu Meng insisted on adding it, which made them very uncomfortable:

"Why is the event of sending holographic devices limited to Xia Country players?!"

"This is unfair!"

"We are also players of Dream Builder, and we also bought games and devices! We demand equal treatment!"

… …

Many people even used proxies to go to Xia Country's Internet to leave messages and send private messages to Xu Meng.

Unfortunately, Xu Meng did not reply to them.

—After he finished this series of things, he had already returned to bed and lay down again.

After receiving a call from his good brother Zhang Yang and accepting a round of "Brother, you're awesome" praise, he directly muted his phone and continued to sleep.

Xiao Meng also changed into a set of pajamas, pretending to be asleep under a small blanket in a decent manner.

… …

Xu Meng himself slept comfortably.

But overseas players couldn't sleep!

—Not only overseas players, but also global game companies, game-related practitioners, media, Internet companies, display upstream and downstream equipment manufacturers…

And so on, and so on, all couldn't sleep!

On the other side of the earth, because of the time difference, it was still daytime, and the stock market had not yet closed.

As a result, as soon as the news of the [Holographic Display Device] came out, the stock prices of all listed companies related to displays plummeted instantly!

Almost all retail investors and institutions began to sell their chips.

No one took over at all!

This led to a straight downward trend in stock prices, hitting the daily limit!

… …

In the country, colleagues in the game circle also had sleepless nights.

"Divine Bird" was implicated by Okamoto Ryosei and the sudden death of "Mirror World Story". After the number of active users and the turnover of the card pool suffered heavy losses and retreated to the fourth place in the sales ranking of second-tier games, "The Nations" successfully gained a firm foothold in the third place.

Therefore, in the past few days, the morale of Huanlong Game Company has been very high!

But now, the atmosphere is a bit stagnant.

"Half a month to determine a new project, set the worldview and gameplay, and create so many monsters…"

"And also made a world-class major technological breakthrough!"

"Oh, and such a big virtual city…"

"Is this the strength of Dream Builder?"

Chen Yujia, the chief planner of the game "The Nations", exclaimed.

After the Cologne Game Show ended and the transplant agreement was negotiated with Dream Builder, the entire development team of Huanlong Game began to work overtime frantically.

The purpose is very simple—

The latest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

While there are still few games on the Dream Builder game platform, go online early and eat this fresh cake.

—It would be even better if it could go online faster than "Frost Snow Project" and become the first fully VR and tactile second-dimensional game!

It can be said that both fame and fortune can be achieved!

They also know that Dream Builder is efficient.

But Cao Ye, the boss of Huanlong Game, said: "Dream Builder gets off work at 6 o'clock, and takes vacations at every turn. They are much worse than us in terms of working hours!"

"Everyone, please work hard, we have a good chance to complete the transplant work faster than 'Frost Snow Project'!"

"If successful, everyone's year-end bonus will be doubled!"

So, along with the chief planner Chen Yujia, the transplant team began a wild daily routine of working overtime.

They even wanted the technical team sent by Dream Builder to help them work overtime together.

Unfortunately, they were rejected neatly.

But this does not affect their own desperate efforts.

11

It's just another ordinary day of working overtime!

But now, after watching what Xu Meng showed in the live broadcast, they felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

—Can this gap really be made up by working overtime frantically?

To say it can is just deceiving yourself, right?

The morale of the transplant team was greatly hit.

The ambitious boss Cao Ye couldn't sleep all night.

Lu Ming, the chief planner of "Divine Bird", also couldn't sleep.

He didn't do anything wrong. "Divine Bird" was purely implicated, causing the data to drop a lot now.

What makes him even more uncomfortable is:

Moyu Game's revenue has dropped sharply, and boss Fei Zhiyuan wants to increase the turnover to make up for the losses caused by "Mirror World Story".

This was originally understandable.

But the problem is that he adopted a practice that Lu Ming found difficult to accept—

Continuing to release erotic characters in "Divine Bird".

The reason is that the erotic priestess [La Erna] was very successful before, although the character's reputation had a big problem because of Okamoto Ryosei's problem.

But the logic of "doing eroticism = making money" is not a problem.

As long as you avoid artists with bad records this time.

Fei Zhiyuan is very sure of this.

Lu Ming strongly protested against this.

But once again, the protest was ineffective.

He was so angry that he couldn't sleep.

After watching Dream Builder's live broadcast, and comparing it with his current situation, he suddenly felt even more uncomfortable and couldn't sleep!

Under this emotion of extreme disappointment with the boss and extreme envy of Dream Builder's current situation, he finally couldn't help but think of Xu Meng's invitation to him.

—Xu Meng personally said to him on the phone: "Do you want to bring people to my place?"

At that time, he thought Xu Meng was joking.

He was already almost at the top of the industry with "Divine Bird" in his hands. How could he leave Moyu and run to Dream Builder to start over?

But now, after experiencing a violent storm, his views have also changed significantly:

The so-called "holding 'Divine Bird'" is just an illusion.

Not to mention the dominance, he doesn't even have the right to say "no".

And Dream Builder…

If it is Dream Builder, which has continuously created miracles, it doesn't seem unacceptable to start from scratch.

Not to mention, what Xu Meng said at the beginning was "to form a new project team for you".

If you really jump ship, it's not starting from scratch.

He looked at Xu Meng's name in the address book and fell into a strong psychological struggle.

… …

… …

The players naturally couldn't sleep either.

After the battle ended and everything subsided, Dragon Gate Flying General disbanded the team.

Fire Knife went to work overtime to write the manuscript, while Dragon Gate Flying General returned to the bottom of the Sky Arena Tower as soon as possible.

He wants to register as a boxer and be the first to rush to the 100th floor!

Then, become a disciple!

Huan Yue also took action as soon as possible.

While others are still discussing whether holographic display is real.

If it is real, whether they can live with virtual waifus, he has already changed the title of the live broadcast room to [The No. 1 Boxer in the National Server, Conquering the Sky Arena].

He rushed to the arena to register and sign up, vowing to get the first holographic display device!

… …

There are also more anchors and thousands of players who put away their weapons.

As tourists, they began a real exploration of the Sprawling Metropolis.
