The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 155 Game Anchor VS Veteran
The first to be flooded were the comments and comments section of this interview video:

“So, I can really sleep with my virtual wife?”

"If this is really the Silver City, then there should be so many beautiful girls with sexy bodies and cool clothes on the streets!"

"Since you have everything you need, can you serve it next week?"

"Aaaaah! I'm landing tomorrow!"

"Everyone! The future is here!"

"I didn't want to buy the somatosensory suit, but now I have to!"

"Buy them all for me! I can't let him be short of money!"

"Everyone, if I don't see this perfect virtual city in two years, I will blame you for not spending enough money!"

……

The dense barrage of comments almost blurred the screen.

pilipili has an algorithm for optimizing the display. The barrage will cover the background but not the face.

But this algorithm is a bit stupid. Not only does it sometimes work and sometimes not, the effect is also a bit weird - it's like countless barrages of comments are floating behind Xu Meng, making his head float above the dense barrage of comments.

Orange Juice, Qihuahua, and the Brave Sniper turned their eyes away from the strange scene, looked at each other, and saw small flames rising in each other's eyes.

The brave sniper took out another mobile phone and took a look at the official store of Dream Building.

Those hardware still only have product descriptions.

Price not determined, not available for purchase.

You can just click [Collect] to receive notification as soon as the product information changes.

"Before, I was only planning to buy the somatosensory synchronization suit and VR glasses, but now... I think I can buy more."

"Let's also get a universal treadmill and a motion capture matrix."

——The so-called [motion capture matrix] is actually a set of high-definition cameras, but with the addition of algorithms and targeted optimization, it can better capture the player's body movements.

This is not a must-buy item.

If you already have a camera, or buy a cheaper one, you can use it. You just need to install the corresponding software.

It’s just that the official product works better and is plug-and-play.

The Brave Sniper is an up-host and obviously has no shortage of cameras at home.

But in order to support his dream of building a [virtual city], he decided to buy another one!
By the way, I also quickly collected all the products - including the most useless-looking simulated firearms.

Help Zhumeng to improve its statistics!

Apparently, there were many people who shared the same idea as him at this moment, and the collection volume of various commodities was increasing rapidly.

Qihuahua and Orange Juice didn't prepare another mobile phone, so they could only lean over to look at the sniper's screen and then at the comments in the live broadcast room.

Even so, they could guess that news about the [virtual city] was spreading rapidly through one chat group after another, and its influence was spreading rapidly...

And the interview continues.

Huodao obviously realized that the topic of [virtual city] could gain huge attention, and asked Xu Meng many questions around this topic.

such as:

"That virtual city, are you sure it's the Silver City?"

“How can this virtual city ensure continuous operation?”

"Since gloves can be used to replace controllers for operation, can the feet of the somatosensory suit be cut out separately and made into a pair of somatosensory shoes or somatosensory socks as a lower-level substitute for the omnidirectional treadmill? It would be cheaper and would not take up much space."

"Will the virtual city continue the setting of no male NPCs in Project Frost and Snow?"

……

Xu Meng did not shy away from answering all the questions raised one by one:

"Not really. The scope of Silver City is still too small. In the current plan, Silver City will only be a part of the entire virtual city."

“I haven’t considered the issue of continued operation yet. Anyway, Dream Building is not short of money now, so let’s just do it first.”

"We are also working on the somatosensory socks, but we have encountered some minor technical problems, so they will not be available until later."

"As for the NPCs in the city...of course they won't have only one gender."

"At least not in the public world."

“Of course, we will also create a Silver City dungeon with all female characters to fulfill our promise to the players of Project Frost.”

……

Until the end, Huo Dao asked the question that countless players were most concerned about:

"When?"

“When will this virtual city be completed so that we can enter and tour it?”

“Do you have a specific schedule?”

Xu Meng nodded and said, "Of course, by next year at the latest, I will let everyone play it."

This time is actually very broad.

It is now the end of August, and Xu Meng said next year, which could mean anywhere from 8 months to 4 months.

But for an entire virtual city, this construction period is already astonishingly fast!
Huo Dao was even a little worried: "Is it too fast? Is it in time?"

"Don't worry, we'll make it in time." Xu Meng was full of confidence. "Everyone can see our production capacity, right?"

Huodao thought about it and realized that it was true.

Zhumeng’s production capacity has continued to shock the entire industry since June.

At the beginning, everyone thought that this was a dream come true for survival, and everyone worked like crazy, even exploiting employees, to achieve such efficiency.

But the employees of Dream Building also have their own interpersonal relationships and have many friends in the circle. As time goes by, colleagues in the industry gradually discovered that

The production capacity of DreamZhu is still increasing, but its employees are not only not getting busier, but are... slowly relaxing?
Just outrageous!
The magical production capacity of DreamCraft has become a bit like an urban legend. Many company executives want to go to DreamCraft to learn from it and absorb its advanced experience.

It’s a pity that they were all rejected by Zhumeng.

Huodao took this opportunity to ask Xu Meng the reason.

Xu Meng did not hide it: "We have more advanced production tools."

But this answer is almost the same as saying nothing.

At least Huodao didn't get any valuable information at all.

——He just confirmed once again that Dream Building is very powerful. As long as it doesn’t delay, we will be able to see the virtual city next year!

“Players will be very excited to hear this news.”

The fire knife in the picture finally concluded.

Then he finally picked up the original interview topic and asked additional questions about DreamWorks' new game - "Lord of War".

This was originally something that many players were concerned about.

But because of the explosive news about [Virtual City] earlier, everyone's attention has obviously decreased a lot, and the barrage has become a bit sparse.

It was not until Huodao asked about the incident that had "just" happened, in which some Izumo players protested against the game and were counterattacked by players from many countries, that the audience became excited again.

Huo Dao asked Xu Meng: "Have you thought about this kind of thing in advance?"

"I've thought about it." Xu Meng nodded in admission.

"So, do you have any contingency plans?"

"No." Xu Meng shook her head again, obviously not taking it too seriously. "The development team is focused on the game, and has no time to pay attention to things outside of the game for the time being."

Huodao opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

"What happens after that?"

What Huodao means is, do you have any remedial measures?

But Xu Meng didn't understand what he meant. Instead, she was a little confused: "After that? Then we will develop the game normally, update the content, and fix bugs based on the players' opinions."

"Ok."

Huo Dao did not intend to deliberately create conflict. Seeing that Xu Meng had no intention of appeasing the Chuyun market, he quickly skipped and moved on to the next question:
“We noticed that in the demo of Lord of War, there is an option called “Hell on Earth” which is in the status of “Under Development”.”

"Can you tell me what the game content is under this option?"

"Sure." Xu Meng knew everything. "[New Soldiers Report] is equivalent to a teaching level, mainly to let players feel the atmosphere of the battlefield and get familiar with the operation."

"[Hell on Earth] is the main story of the game."

“Here, players need to combine all the skills learned in the tutorial level and introduce the command system. Under the leadership of the commander, they will engage in a highly simulated hardcore confrontation.”

“The scale of the confrontation will far exceed the games currently on the market.”

“We will do everything we can to allow players to have a similar experience in this mode as on the real battlefield.”

Huo Dao blinked and said in a rather unpleasant tone, "Can we charge on stags and wild boars on a real battlefield?"

"Hahaha." Xu Meng couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Of course not!"

“The content of the tutorial level is not only for testing the hardcore gameplay of [Hell on Earth], but also for testing other light gameplays.”

"Light gameplay?" Huodao's eyes lit up.

But this time, Xu Meng finally waved his hand and did not answer the question directly -

"The development of [Hell on Earth] is going smoothly and it will be available to everyone soon, so I am just saying this casually."

"The light gameplay has not even started yet, it's all in the planning stage, and announcing it now is just empty talk."

"Let's not talk about this for now."

Huo Dao nodded in agreement with admiration.

——Don’t make big promises, just talk about the work that is already being done, which is a good virtue for game manufacturers.

Must be respected!
“So, will [Hell on Earth] be open to players for trial play in the demo?”

Xu Meng nodded, then shook her head: "We will conduct a small-scale test, but it will not be open to everyone."

"So, if players want to know the specific gameplay, they have to wait for the actual game video, right?" Huodao nodded in understanding.

But Xu Meng shook his head.

"No no no."

“Live video is so boring.”

"?" Huo Dao didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?"

"I plan to invite some shooting game streamers and a group of retired soldiers to play a few games in Hell on Earth!"

When Xu Meng said this, unlike his previous relaxed and calm demeanor, he showed obvious anticipation for the first time.

And Huo Dao was stunned——

Game anchor and veteran?

How did these two groups of people get connected?

It took him a lot of effort to squeeze out a surprised voice from his throat:

"……what?"

　Please vote for me at the beginning of the month!
