“150 floors?”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Dragon City Flying General was sitting in the waiting room watching Xu Meng's live broadcast.
Upon hearing the new challenge that Xu Meng proposed, he immediately exclaimed that it was impossible!
On the Sky Arena's stage, neither the stamina bar nor the health bar had specific values.
But as he fought his way up, he could clearly feel that as the floors increased, the NPC opponents' stats were constantly improving!
This wasn't just an improvement in fighting ability and reaction speed, but also in various attributes!
It was just that at the lower levels, these improvements were minimal, and only became noticeable at higher levels.
The players themselves were also improving!
—Regarding this, he had already tested it with friends who hadn't fought in the arena by arm wrestling.
His character won ten out of ten times.
But this improvement was very small, and he reached a bottleneck after the 90th floor.
This kind of bottleneck also existed in individual NPCs—some NPCs would stay on a certain floor and not go up, or even regress a few floors.
But this didn't exist within the NPC group—there were always NPCs at higher floors.
In this situation, breaking through 100 floors was already very difficult.
150 floors?
Too difficult!
Unless a massive number of player fighters were used to dilute the number of NPC fighters, and then the players fought each other to send people to the higher floors.
How many people would that take? How much time?
At least before the release of "Monster Hunter", Dragon City Flying General felt it was impossible.
Unless…
"Nian" ability is unlocked in advance.
Looking at the magnificent fireworks on the phone screen, Dragon City Flying General felt even more anticipation for his upcoming Ningzhou trip.
… …
The most environmentally friendly New Year's Eve fireworks show in history has ended.
The live broadcast room went dark.
But the content of this live broadcast was too astonishing.
The sea monster singing in the water under the moonlight, the ancient dragon that covered the sky and the sun, the dreamlike invasion of reality, and the heroism of mortals fighting against giant beasts…
One after another, they came one after another!
It was really impressive.
But Xu Meng's rhythm was too fast.
Everyone's surprised emotions continued to rise, but there wasn't much time to express them.
Now that the live broadcast is finally over, they can no longer restrain their desire to share, and they open social networks to start sharing and discussing!
This is not difficult at all.
Before the live broadcast ended, many pictures had already spread everywhere, let alone now.
A couple taking pictures were originally just standing by Jinghu Lake taking pictures.
The girl was making a scissor-hand pose, when suddenly a giant dragon sprang out of Jinghu Lake behind her!
The two were frightened, and while running away, they didn't forget to turn around and use the shaking camera to capture the appearance of the Snake King Dragon.
Someone was cooking at home, flipping the pot, when they saw a big guy popping out of Jinghu Lake in the distance through the window.
In a moment of stunnedness, the vegetables and hot oil in the pot were ignited, not only was a pot of good dishes burned, but they almost ignited their own hair…
… …
Byte's advanced algorithm immediately pushed these short videos like crazy.
The number of views is rising steadily!
With the help of multiple parties, the discussion about this live broadcast has remained high, completely overshadowing the New Year's Eve galas of various TV stations.
For a time, it was unparalleled! —
Compared to the explosive popularity on the Internet, reality is much quieter.
As Xu Meng closed the holographic display device, the lush rainforest instantly disappeared, once again turning into familiar reinforced concrete.
At the dividing line, the gathered players looked at this magical scene, and even though they had seen it once before, they still widened their eyes again.
Several people subconsciously looked around, looking for the lush vegetation they had just seen.
But more people were still looking at Xu Meng.
But they found that the place that was previously empty and only Xu Meng was standing, now suddenly had a group of people popping up.
Some people were disassembling equipment, and some were handing Xu Meng clothes and hot tea.
Xu Meng didn't stop, said a few words and quickly walked over here, and said to the players watching the excitement: "Let's go, let's go, the excitement is over."
“It’s the middle of winter, be careful not to catch a cold if you stay too long.”
"Later, I'll have someone send a few pots of ginger tea to the experience hall. Go and drink some when you have time to get rid of the cold."
The first ones to gather were, besides a few passers-by, mostly players who ran out of the experience hall.
Under normal circumstances, players are a relatively easy group to talk to.
After chatting for a few simple sentences, they listened to the advice and slowly dispersed.
Xu Meng also breathed a sigh of relief.
The follow-up impact of this live broadcast will last for several days.
But for him, the last thing this year is finally over, and he can rest assured and take a vacation.
… …
… …
January 1st, Xu Meng's vacation failed.
Because Dragon City Flying General arrived.
He slept on the plane all night, and after landing in Ningzhou, he didn't even look for a hotel, and went straight to the Dream-Building Game Company.
The employees on duty at the company played their usual high efficiency, verified Dragon City Flying General's identity, and immediately reported it to Xu Meng.
Xu Meng, who was sleeping in, was awakened by the phone.
Xu Meng has been too busy recently, and there are too many Easter eggs buried in Mansheng City, and he didn't even notice that Dragon City Flying General triggered the Easter egg of "Nian" ability.
Hearing this, he only thought that he was anxious and wanted to get the holographic display device as soon as possible, so he came over in person.
After struggling for a moment, he was too lazy to go out, so he asked the employee on duty to send the person to his home.
Because Dragon City Flying General was too strong, had military experience, and had considerable combat power, he was caught by the National Security and asked a bunch of questions before being allowed into Xu Meng's home.
Then, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xu Meng wearing a black pajamas and Xiao Meng wearing a pink nightdress.
“Um, hello, Boss Xu.”
While Longcheng Flying General was talking to Xu Meng, his eyes kept uncontrollably glancing at Xiaomeng's cat ears.
Xiaomeng's existence was no longer a secret.
However, the exact origin of this little girl was the subject of much speculation—now the industry knows that Dream Builders employees have intelligent office partners, but players haven't popularized this knowledge yet.
Few who know about it find it hard to believe that Xiaomeng is that kind of office assistant.
Not to mention the players, even the employees of Dream Builders, many people don't believe that Xiaomeng is the same as their office partners.
That lifelike and adorable energy, the outrageous authority in her hands that is even higher than senior executives, the meticulousness when conveying work instructions on behalf of Xu Meng…
All of this makes it difficult for them to regard Xiaomeng as a piece of code.
Now, after the holographic equipment was put into use, this girl suddenly appeared in a real-life home environment wearing a set of pajamas, which was even more confusing!
The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!
It even made Longcheng Flying General, this rough man, feel a bit uneasy.
In this case, those cat ears became an important symbol to distinguish her from ordinary people.
"Ah~~" Xu Meng couldn't help but yawned, "Hello, hello."
Seeing him looking so sleepy, Longcheng Flying General felt a little apologetic: "Sorry, I was too impatient. I should have visited after the holiday."
"It's okay, I have holographic equipment here. Come with me, and I'll teach you how to use it."
Xu Meng led him into the house, walking and saying: "But honestly, I still suggest you sell it."
Longcheng Flying General followed behind Xu Meng, stunned when he heard this.
"Ah? Sell it?"
"Yes." Xu Meng nodded affirmatively, "This thing is really ridiculously expensive now. I even want to secretly ship out a batch of goods…"
"When it goes on the market in two or three months, you can buy a new one for ten thousand yuan or so."
"This price difference is enough for you to buy a building in a small city."
Longcheng Flying General shook his head decisively: "I don't plan to sell it."
"I suspect that the highest bidders now are all overseas spies. I can't do such a thing."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." Xu Meng opened a door, "This thing can't leave the country now."
Longcheng Flying General was reminded by Xu Meng and remembered that when Xu Meng said he would give away holographic equipment, it was also limited to Xia Country players.
In this way… it seems okay to sell it?
Longcheng Flying General hesitated a bit.
That was a large sum of money after all!
Just as he was about to follow Xu Meng into the room, Xiaomeng suddenly interrupted: "Wait a minute! If you enter this room, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement when you come out!"
"Oh, right." Xu Meng patted his head, "I'm sleepy, wait for me."
Longcheng Flying General obediently stopped.
Before long, Xu Meng came out holding something.
Longcheng Flying General looked at the square lump with a row of jacks and found it difficult to associate it with the magnificent scenes Xu Meng had shown.
Especially the way Xu Meng casually handed it to him, without the slightest bit of caution.
"These few jacks, plug the power supply here, plug the HP line here, plug the media box here, and the other conventional interfaces, audio, data, etc., you should also recognize…"
Xu Meng briefly and clearly introduced the usage of the holographic equipment to him.
It was so simple that Longcheng Flying General felt absurd—
Isn't this a groundbreaking high-end technology?
Shouldn't it be very complicated to use, with a manual thicker than a book?
Why are you talking about it so casually??
"Finally, there's troubleshooting."
Xu Meng said easily: "If there's a problem, just pat this media box."
"Ah??"
"If patting the media box doesn't work, unplug and replug the power supply to restart it."
"Restart??"
"Yes, if restarting can't solve it, then don't bother, just contact after-sales service directly."
Xu Meng didn't forget to add: "Oh right, there's no after-sales service for this yet. If there's really a problem, just go to the nearest official experience center to exchange it for a new one."
Longcheng Flying General looked at this theoretically very awesome, and actually very awesome, epoch-making technology in his hand, feeling complicated.
Xu Meng only used a few words to completely eliminate his sense of awe for this device!
Listen to what he's saying?
If there's a problem, just pat it a few times, if that doesn't work, restart it, and if that still doesn't work, contact after-sales service.
What's the difference between this and buying an old TV?
"Take it, this is the wiring, this is the media box, I'll give you a few more boxes, it should last until the equipment is released."
Longcheng Flying General held this pile of things, seeing that Xu Meng looked like he wanted to go back to sleep after finishing the instructions, he quickly interrupted: "Wait, wait, wait!"
"Boss Xu, I have other things to see you about!"
"Other things? What is it?" Xu Meng was a little surprised.
"I was taken by Mr. Long to the 230th floor of the Sky Arena, where I received a mission about 【Mind】."
"The system prompt said that to unlock this part of the content, I need to come and see you in person."
"So I came."
Xu Meng blinked and turned to look at Xiaomeng.
Xiaomeng nodded in confirmation.
"I see." So Xu Meng also nodded, "Sorry, I've been too busy lately and haven't noticed this."
"This matter may be a bit troublesome."
Longcheng Flying General was a little nervous: "Is it… not possible?"
"It's not that it's not possible…" Xu Meng considered his words, and finally gave up, "Why don't you sign a confidentiality agreement first?"
"It'll be easier for me to talk to you in detail after signing."
"Oh, okay." Longcheng Flying General agreed readily.
He thought that this was the kind of confidentiality agreement common in the game industry, which you had to sign to participate in the game test server.
But after Xu Meng made a phone call.
When a man and a woman with stern faces sat in front of him with several copies of the agreement, he couldn't remain calm—
Because after the other party opened their mouths, they didn't talk to him about game testing, but instead started anti-espionage education on the spot!
