The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 158 An NPC that looks like a real person? (asking for monthly votes)
"All?" Xu Meng asked in disbelief.

"Uh..." Duan Siyu's expression froze, "That's not the case."

"Only the haptic gloves and the somatosensory sync suit are sold out."

Xu Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is still exaggerated, it is at least back within an acceptable range.

He has a ton of cash now and has no place to spend it, so he is very wealthy.

In addition to having full confidence in these two sets of products and in order to reduce costs, an order was placed directly for 50 sets of somatosensory synchronization suits and 100 million sets of tactile gloves.

That adds up to 150 million sets!

As a match, 150 million sets of VR glasses were also produced.

——He thought that since this thing would not expire anyway, he could just sell it slowly.

Warehousing is not a big problem for him. Young Master Zhang can provide help. Yuanyang Group does not lack this space.

In comparison, there were far fewer simulators, with only 20 sets ordered.

The universal treadmill is somewhere in between the two, with 30 sets produced.

Except for the tactile gloves and the somatosensory synchronization suit, the rest of the products have not been finalized.

——Even the VR glasses were not available. Xu Meng guessed that someone must have bought both the somatosensory synchronization suit and the tactile gloves at the same time.

And there are quite a few of them.

Xu Meng returned to the company and checked the reservation status of various products.

He was surprised to find that

The omnidirectional treadmill was far more popular than he expected, with over 20 units already pre-ordered!

Judging from the trend, all the rooms will be booked before September 9st.

Tank simulators, aircraft simulators, and motorcycle simulators were, as expected, the hardest-selling hardware.

The reason is easy to guess——

The floor space and price are one thing, the lack of content is another.

"Lord of War" is not finished yet, and there is no need to buy a big thing and throw it home just for a tutorial level.

Sales will only grow rapidly when [Hell on Earth] and even more gameplay are developed and these devices have sufficient use.

He retracted his gaze and called Young Master Zhang again, urgently placing a few more orders.

Another 50 sets of somatosensory synchronization services will be released.

100 million sets of tactile gloves.

30 sets of universal treadmills.

20 sets of VR glasses were added.

Zhang Yang suggested that he could order more at once: "The first day of pre-orders will clear out the inventory, and sales may increase several times after the products are put on the shelves. Why don't you order more at once, Boss Xu?"

Xu Meng shook her head: "Don't worry, there are too few things to play right now, and many people booked because of the novelty and excitement."

"The future sales are still unknown, so let's take it one step at a time."

"Once I have completed the virtual city, I will vigorously expand the production capacity!"

When Zhang Yang heard him mention the virtual city, he was also very excited: "Okay, okay! Then hurry up!"

"I don't ask for anything else from you, just a dozen virtual wives."

"???" Xu Meng blinked and quickly complained, "Then how about giving you a pair of super-high-precision body-sensing underwear that can separate bullets from guns?"

“…Can you really do it?”

"???" Xu Meng retreated tactically, "No, do you really want it?"

"Wait, Young Master Zhang, you are the young master of Yuanyang Group, you shouldn't be so thirsty, right?"

"Get lost," Zhang Yang said without hesitation, "I am showing you a clear path to becoming the richest man!"

"Open a cyber chicken farm? Or cyber dragon tendon grabbing?" Xu Meng was talking nonsense with Zhang Yang. He always said whatever he thought and never cared about his image.

Zhang Yang obviously thought so too: "Good fellow, you really understand a lot!"

"You know nothing! How dare you do this? Do you think the Copyright Office won't do anything about it?" Xu Meng was speechless.

"What are you afraid of? You've already overturned their car once, you can just do it again!" Zhang Yang spoke up for him, "Besides, this is just an adult product at best."

"Now when you buy a cup, there's an AI voice to chat with you. If you buy a pair of fancy underwear and add software to it, isn't it the same thing? At most, you need to apply for a health license."

Zhang Yang was just talking nonsense at first, but the more he talked, the more he thought it was plausible, and his emotions gradually rose:

"Dude, you are the next porn king! Adult products tycoon!"

"The position of the richest man is waving at you!"

Xu Meng's head was full of black lines, "According to what you said, should I develop another set of women's models?"

"The position of the richest man is more secure!" Zhang Yang agreed loudly.

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Meng said earnestly: "Brother, listen to my advice - work hard and wait to take over your father's job. Don't start a business casually."

"Why, you think you can't make money?"

“Maybe… I can make money?”

“Then why not make money?”

Why not make money?
Because this is the money for going into the sea!
Xu Meng was speechless, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she chose to turn the tables:
"Yes, how about this: you register a company, I'll help you get the technology, and then you can sell it at will, and you can give me 30% of the hard work fee. How about it, do you want to do it?"

Zhang Yang actually started to think: "Including a virtual wife?"

"..." Xu Meng was really stunned. "Brother, wait a minute... Let me confirm. Are you really not lying to me?"

"Of course." Zhang Yang affirmed.

But just when Xu Meng really started to think about the technical route, review issues, and content production issues, he said:
"Let's do this. You design the product first and create the content. I'll test whether the product is useful and whether the virtual wife is good."

"If it passes the test, you will launch it to the market. If it fails, you will go back to work and make another version."

"For you, it shouldn't be difficult to create a dozen realistic virtual girls, right?"

"You fucking..." Xu Meng understood.

This guy just wants to trick me into being a free laborer!

"Don't beat around the bush. When I have time later, I'll carve a sexy girl for you as a birthday present, okay?" "Good brother!" Zhang Yang was very happy.

Before hanging up the phone, he added, "Hurry up! Virtual city and virtual girl, hurry up!"

Xu Meng put away her phone and turned around to see her assistant Chen Mengling standing behind her, looking as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant.

Who is Xu Meng?

He has always been very kind to the people around him.

Seeing this, he immediately said sympathetically: "Do you also want a sexy hunk as a birthday present?"

"No problem! I'll make one for you too!"

"Just tell me XP - if you're sorry, you can also tell Ding Nian and say it's my request."

"No!" the assistant retorted loudly, "I was worried that you would delay our meeting, and I didn't know whether I should interrupt you!"

After saying that, he didn't care what Xu Meng said and grabbed his sleeve and ran out.

"If we don't leave now, we might be late, and that would be bad for leaving a bad impression on others!"

Xu Meng looked at the assistant's blushing cheeks and couldn't tell whether she was shy or anxious.

After thinking about it, I decided to look back at the image of the little assistant's smart office partner and then decide whether to make a macho man for her.

After all, we are all friends who have been together in college, so it is reasonable to give us some special care.

The young assistant got into the car with blushing cheeks and drove Xu Meng straight to Songshiji Restaurant.
-
A few days ago at the Cologne Games Show, Dream Building received help from four-dimensional games——

They exchanged their narrow booth for the entire exhibition hall of Sunset Game Studio, in which they invested.

Thanks to this, the subsequent trial activities of "Lord of War" were so smooth, and the influence and publicity effects were greatly magnified.

At that time, Xu Meng made an appointment with Yu Hao, the boss of Four Dimensional Games, to meet after returning to China to exchange technology.

For this exchange, Yu Hao returned to Ningzhou specially.

Xu Meng is still very much looking forward to this meeting.

This expectation has nothing to do with "Abyss of the Gods" or the current state of domestic second-tier games.

What he really expected was...

As early as two years ago, Four Dimensional Games announced its investment in brain-computer interface research.

The virtual world based on somatosensory synchronization clothes and VR glasses is very good, but the virtual world of brain-computer interface——

better!!
If the other party has made enough progress in this regard, Xu Meng is even willing to persuade the military to exchange the technology of the somatosensory synchronization suit for authorization.

……

Half an hour later, the assistant brought Xu Meng to the outside of Songshiji.

This is a high-end restaurant with an elegant environment, cold decoration, and extremely expensive food.

Yu Hao, the boss of Four Dimensional Games, was already sitting in the private room waiting.

The two men shook hands and greeted each other in a friendly manner.

After a few pleasantries, both sides discovered something they had in common - they both disliked meaningless nonsense.

So without even opening the menu, the two of them got straight to the point and began the technical communication phase.

Xu Meng asked expectantly, "Fourth Dimension Games announced that it would invest in brain-computer interface technology. Now that two years have passed, have there been any results?"

Yu Hao's originally confident and reserved expression suddenly froze.

When Xu Meng noticed this, he immediately felt something was wrong.

The next moment, this bad news came true: "Unfortunately, there have been some phased progress, but it is still far from the application level."

"Is that so? What a pity." Xu Meng shook his head regretfully.

Yu Hao was relatively calm. “This kind of cutting-edge technology requires continuous investment for a long time before we can hope to see substantial results. We must have enough patience.”

After that, he changed the subject and stated his purpose: "Although brain-computer interface is still a long way off, another investment of 4D - AI big model, has achieved significant results and will soon be able to enter the application level."

Xu Meng blinked, feeling a little weird: "AI..."

“Yes,” Yu Hao affirmed. “We started the research and development of large AI models and investment earlier than brain-computer interfaces, and the funds invested were many times more. Now it is time to reap the rewards.”

"Harvest?" Xu Meng took the lead.

"That's right." Yu Hao's eyes flashed with anticipation. "Have you ever thought about this: What if AI and games are combined to make NPCs and characters as smart as real people, and react differently based on the player's language and actions?"

Xu Meng thought about it.

The first feeling that came to my mind was not anticipation, but headache.

If all NPCs have their own ideas, the game will be a mess and the plot may not be able to move forward at all.

If you want the plot to continue - at least without causing conflicts, you have to limit the behavior and reactions of NPCs.

If there are fewer restrictions, accidents may happen.

There are too many restrictions, so why use AI?

Of course, technology is extremely valuable, there is no doubt about that.

Since Yu Hao is so confident, he must have his own ideas for game design and technology utilization methods.

Although Xu Meng's first reaction was trouble, he was also confident.

As long as you give him time, he can be used well.

“The next generation of “Kami’s Abyss” is already under development, and AI large model technology will be fully introduced at that time.”

"I think we can cooperate and exchange the licenses of the AI ​​large model optimized for game development and the somatosensory synchronization technology of Dream Maker."

“It’s a win-win situation for us.”

Xu Meng felt a little helpless when he heard this.

What Yu Hao said is not wrong.

But the problem is...

He turned on the screen of his mobile phone a little rudely and took a look at the pink loli head-shaped APP icon on the screen - the icon was even dynamic.

But the problem is...I already have your technology.

At this time, Xu Meng really wanted to say to Hao:
"That's great, but can you change it to something else?"
