"Childhood Graduation"? What the heck is that?
The discussion suddenly quieted down, and everyone's gaze locked onto Fallen Leaves, who had spoken.
Fallen Leaves didn't change his expression and said with confidence:
"I'm not talking about myself; I'm speaking on behalf of many players."
Facing everyone's suspicious gazes, he even questioned the others: "What, haven't you guys browsed the Miscellaneous Talk section of Dreamnet?"
"The Miscellaneous Talk section... what's wrong with it?"
Everyone was a bit confused.
Even Xu Meng revealed a puzzled look.
Dreamnet has developed to the point where it's no longer just a community for gacha game players, or even a simple gaming forum.
It's a massive comprehensive forum.
But the foundation of this forum was built by game players, and the forum's operating mechanism still revolves around players and games, with the core users being the broad player base.
The Miscellaneous Talk section is the most wide-ranging and least restrictive section of this comprehensive community.
—Basically, there are no restrictions. As long as you don't violate the rules, you can post whatever you want.
This also results in the content of this section being extremely mixed. Even players who frequent this section often see different content from others due to their different preferences and blocked words.
Only popular posts can transcend these divisions and be seen by all users.
Of the 14 people in this room, at least half are internet surfing experts and deep Dreamnet users.
Even they don't know what Fallen Leaves is talking about.
This can only prove that what Fallen Leaves is talking about isn't popular content.
Looking at everyone's probing eyes, Fallen Leaves hesitated whether to talk about such a slightly vulgar topic that could easily expose strange fetishes in such a semi-serious setting.
In the end, it was Xu Meng's choice of venue that helped him make up his mind.
—Xu Meng didn't take them to some serious meeting room but used holographic technology to bring them to chat around a large bonfire in the Monster Hunter research base.
"I'll say this first, I only saw these posts by chance, and I only learned a little more out of curiosity."
"Saying this now is just to give Boss Xu a better understanding of the current situation of players."
"This is all to facilitate Dream Building to better carry out its work and serve players."
"It's not that I'm really interested in these things, nor does it mean that I've done similar things."
Fallen Leaves layered several layers of armor on himself before he began to popularize some outrageous content to everyone present:
"Did you know that some people don't wear underwear and wear tactile sync suits in a vacuum?"
"Did you know that some people have tried using tactile gloves as underwear?"
"Did you know that some people have been training the character's dialogue AI, teaching the character to say erotic things?"
"Did you know that some people wear tactile sync suits to do handicrafts?"
...
Fallen Leaves's series of wild words shocked everyone present.
The fact that he dared to say these things so openly in front of so many people was met with shock mixed with a strange admiration.
"Alright, alright, alright! You can stop now." Xu Meng covered Little Meng's ears and quickly called for a stop.
"I understand what you mean..."
"It's not difficult to do these things."
Amid everyone's incredible expressions, Xu Meng added the latter sentence:
"It just requires you to handle the Xia Country Ministry of Culture, the Press and Publication Administration, and the National Health Commission."
The fiery expectation in Fallen Leaves's eyes faded as quickly as it had ignited.
In the end, he still said unwillingly: "Boss Xu, isn't your relationship very strong? People on the internet say that the Press and Publication Administration manages game companies, and Dream Building manages the Press and Publication Administration. Why don't you try to work hard?"
"Rumor! That's completely a rumor!" Xu Meng shook his head violently.
He only has a little privilege because of his huge contribution and potential.
He definitely can't manage, and doesn't have time to manage the Press and Publication Administration.
"If you really want to graduate from virginity, you should go back and work hard to find a wife."
"Graduating from virginity in the virtual world is just an illusion. Even if it's really possible, it's almost like having a wet dream."
"Besides... I said it was technically simple, but I was just teasing you."
"???" Fallen Leaves looked at Xu Meng.
He didn't expect that after the fantasy was shattered, Xu Meng could still add insult to injury.
"For the sake of your physical safety, the original dreamwalking agent that should have been injected has been replaced with a sleep aid patch. Although the optimization of the brainwave signal acquisition algorithm and power has also achieved dream entry, the cost of reducing the dose is that the dream is not deep and stable enough."
"If the external stimulation is relatively strong—or the body undergoes drastic changes—you will wake up from the dream."
"The current connection stability that can support intense battles without waking up is the result of extensive testing."
"That is to say, if you really engage in erotic activities in the dream, it is very likely that you will wake up before the main show even starts."
"It will end up being: I can make it, but you can't experience it."
"This matter has very big problems both technically and politically."
"Before I find a way to make the 'connection' more stable, don't think about this aspect."
This "instability" affects more than just erotic content.
The construction logic of the virtual world and the dream world is actually different.
The reason why the two can communicate now is because Xu Meng built a bridge in the middle with algorithms, allowing players in the dream world to cross the bridge and log into the virtual world.
When there are only a few people, this bridge is completely sufficient.
But if there are a lot of people—as many as tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands—and they all gather together, the amount of data interaction generated will be too large, which will produce an ancient problem:
Lag.
—This information was also fed back by Wu Shuang.
[Data processing delay] and [Unstable connection] are the biggest problems with the dream-making machine today.
Fortunately, this problem does not affect the current use, and he still has plenty of time to solve these problems.
Fallen Leaves understood: "So, if you want to inject virtual characters, you have to be injected yourself first, right?"
The latest and most complete novels are available on !
"Give me a break!" Dragon City Flying General couldn't help but pounce on Fallen Leaves, grabbing him by the neck and stopping him from continuing to say wild words.
At least the discussion was able to proceed normally.
Xu Meng also remembered what he was talking about before after being reminded by everyone—
"Well, experiences that don't exist in reality."
"I'm referring to being blasted away head-on by a train cannon, being eaten by a giant beast, being pierced through the body by crimson lightning, surviving by immersing yourself in the boundless sea, traveling through the starry sky to grow crops in outer space..."
"Shaping extraordinary physiques, exploring the potential of the mind and will, raising magical creatures, cultivating internal strength and dharma..."
Xu Meng was not just talking nonsense.
Although these contents are not yet finalized and listed on the work log, they are also in his future plans.
Some are near, and players will soon be able to experience them.
Others are farther away, but it's just a matter of waiting another two or three years.
The 12 core players present had different focuses when listening to Xu Meng's description.
Among them, Dragon City Flying General was the most shocked.
Because he is the only person on the scene who truly masters Nen and has already realized the meaning of Xu Meng's words, "Exploring the potential of the mind and will."
Because of this, he was both shocked and eager for the other content that Xu Meng mentioned!
The others also vaguely realized that Xu Meng seemed to have revealed a lot of future game news!
But when they opened their mouths to ask further, Xu Meng refused to elaborate.
He just aroused their strong expectations for the future prospects of the dream-making machine, and then dragged the topic back to the testing of the dream-making machine.
Based on everyone's game experience, he recorded the content that needed to be corrected and adjusted the priority of various tasks.
Once more people participated in the test, the views and needs for the game and the virtual world immediately became diverse, and soon provided Xu Meng with a lot of valuable information.
...
...
The discussion lasted for a full hour and a half before it ended.
Xu Meng announced the adjournment with a full harvest.
But on the same night after everyone disbanded, they encountered an unexpected problem—
They couldn't sleep.
Clearly, there were important things to do the next day, and they needed to recharge their batteries, but they just couldn't fall asleep.
At this time, they realized that playing games with the [Dream-Making Machine] was essentially dreaming.
The brain felt that it hadn't rested, but the body said that it had already rested.
This contradictory feeling made it difficult for them to fall asleep.
Instead, when they came to the laboratory again the next day, they were in a sleepy and drowsy state.
Only Dragon City Flying General had no sleepiness at all.
Seven Flowers was very surprised and was about to ask this senior for tips when Fire Knife suddenly said: "Fear of Wolves is on sale early."
Everyone heard the words and immediately curiously came over to ask what was going on.
Fire Knife showed them his mobile phone: "Probably because they don't want to clash with our live hunting this time, they unlocked the game 8 hours early and can now log in."
Seven Flowers couldn't believe it: "It shouldn't be, right? It's still an old game company, are they so afraid of us?"
Illusory Moon was very self-aware: "It's not afraid of us, it's afraid of Monster Hunter and Dream Building."
"But in that case, shouldn't they delay the release a little longer and wait for the Monster Hunter craze to pass?" Seven Flowers asked puzzled.
Fire Knife once again demonstrated the professional qualities of a journalist: "Because Shengcai Entertainment is about to collapse."
"If they wait another month, they can go bankrupt and dissolve."
"Releasing Fear of Wolves at this time is already a last resort."
"That is to say..." Seven Flowers said uncertainly, "Our live broadcast today may accidentally lead to the bankruptcy of Shengcai Entertainment???"
"That's right, very likely!"
Brave Sniper strangely looked at Seven Flowers: "What, are you just realizing this now?"
