The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 160 Disharmony under the heat

November 9, 1 a.m.

The brave sniper started the live broadcast early.

Live broadcast location: community gym.

Live event: 3km jogging.

A few days ago, due to a statement made by Xu Meng in an interview, a running check-in craze was set off in the gaming circle.

Now, five days have passed, and players who were just joining in the fun and players with weak willpower have stopped checking in and continue to enjoy the comfortable life of lying down.

Most of those who have persisted have felt the joy that running brings.

The body slowly wakes up, the energy becomes more vigorous, and the willpower and concentration are significantly improved.

Especially as the days go by, I can persist longer and longer, and run farther and farther.

This visible progress is truly encouraging.

After all, many things in life are futile - you carefully write a plan of more than ten pages, but the client may reject it with just a few words and ask you to rewrite it, while cursing in his heart that you wrote garbage.

But the sense of progress brought by exercise is real.

One more day of practice means one more day of progress.

——At least that’s the case in the early stages.

The brave sniper has developed a habit of live streaming and checking in every day. He also encourages fans to exercise together, and he looks like a positive energy anchor.

But when he finished running, checked in, washed up, and sat down at his computer desk again, he quickly turned back into an avid gamer:

"Guys! Today is a big day!"

"Monthly update of "Frost and Snow Plan", demo patch update of "Lord of War", somatosensory synchronization suits, tactile gloves, VR glasses, motion capture matrices, and omnidirectional treadmills are all shipped!"

“We’ll play whichever one is updated first!”

"The same goes for hardware, whichever arrives first gets used first!"

This was not his regular live broadcast time, not to mention it was a Monday, and the number of viewers in the live broadcast room was less than half of what it was in the evening.

But even so, there were more than 8 people squatting in the live broadcast room to watch the fun.

——Today’s heroic sniper is indeed completely different from the past!
As his dream took off, he also rose to fame and his attention soared.

However, the comments in the live broadcast room were somewhat off topic:

"Aki, when did you take away your VR glasses?"

"That's right, Zhumeng has already given you one, why do you need to buy another one?"

"Fuck me! Fuck me! I really need it!"

"Can I buy it at double the price? Damn Dream Building, I hesitated for a moment and they wouldn't even let me make the reservation."

"It's outrageous to think about it. 150 million pairs of glasses were sold out in two days. It's incredible!"

……

The heroic sniper glanced at the comments and sighed in silence:
"It's been a few days, why haven't you given up yet?"

"Let me get this straight! The VR glasses that Boss Xu gave me are engraved with my ID and honorary player number!"

“Is this something to be used?”

"This is for viewing!"

“It will be passed down to children and passed down from generation to generation.”

"So don't even think about my glasses. I can't smoke them, and I can't sell them!"

The fans were once again disappointed.

As the brave sniper spoke, he opened the Dream Mall again and took a look. The pre-order button was still grey.

"Outrageous." He couldn't help but say.

On the 28th, after these hardware were opened for pre-order in the Dream Mall, all the motion sensing suits and gloves were ordered on the same day.

The next day, VR glasses, motion capture matrices and omnidirectional treadmills were all booked.

On the third day, the war simulator was also fully booked.

At this point, the Dream Mall was emptied in disguise, and all booking options were grayed out.

At first everyone thought it was a website malfunction, then everyone hoped that Dream Building would release the second batch of goods, and finally everyone made a wish that Dream Building would restock the stock on September 9st, the day of the official release.

But now, all these expectations have come to nothing.

There really were only so many items in Dream Building, and they were all sold out in one go.

A bunch of people went to the major official accounts of Dream Building to post question marks, urging them to replenish their stocks quickly.

But the equipment cannot appear out of thin air, and it is impossible to replenish it immediately when you want to.

In the end, it was the official account of [Neuromancer] that jumped out to take the blame, issued an apology announcement, admitted that it had underestimated the enthusiasm of the players, and stated that the factory was already working at full speed to produce the next batch of products.

The second batch will be on the shelves within one month at the latest.

Players said:
"Are apologies useful? If apologies were useful, what would the police be for?"

"You still have time to send out notices? You might as well go to the workshop and screw in screws!"

"One month? After one month, the flowers will be cold! My wife Huo Huo is going to run away with someone else!"

"Will it make money? The demo of Lord of War only has so little content. The popularity of the game has already passed after a month. Who would buy it?"

……

Duan Siyu Alexander.

Xu Meng told him to relax: "After a month, players will certainly lose interest in the current game content, but there will be more new content by then."

"Don't worry about it, time is always on our side."

When he said these words, Xu Meng had already built the virtual login space of the [Dream Building Game Platform] and used Dream Building's existing technology to add some less complicated and interesting functions.

——After Xiao Meng became a complete apprentice, his efficiency was incredibly high, unless he was developing a completely new function.

So he is full of confidence.

Seeing his boss so calm, Duan Siyu felt relieved and went back to his work.

In addition to focusing on hardware sales, he is also a member of the R&D team and is still researching tactile socks.
-
At this moment, players who have not pre-ordered the motion sensing server for various reasons can only open the product page and refresh it continuously.

Pray that some people don’t really want to buy it, and they choose to pre-order it just to join in the fun and post on social networks.

In this way, if they do not pay the balance today, the pre-ordered goods will be unlocked, reappear on the shelves, and can be purchased again.

——This situation has indeed occurred. Some players have posted on Mengjin, saying that they saw the gray option flash.

I guess someone gave up on booking, but as soon as the product was released, it was quickly snatched up by someone else. It's just like grabbing a train ticket, it's all about luck and hand speed.

The kryptonian player, the avid collector of virtual wives, and the cyber scumbag - Huanyue, is also anxiously waiting.

He was pretty miserable in this matter too.

Unlike those who are too busy to pay attention, or hesitate to see which way the wind blows, and finally miss the reservation.

Ever since he first experienced the somatosensory suit, he was determined to buy it.

But after the Cologne Game Show ended, DreamCraft only randomly selected 10 people to receive the motion sensing service.

He didn't get it.

At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it. At the invitation of the three outstanding international students, he went to Berlin for a trip and visited their school.

Then on the 28th, Huanyue woke up and found that the Dream Mall was accepting reservations. Without thinking, she took out her phone to reserve the somatosensory synchronization service.

The same goes for the three outstanding international students.

But immediately the four of them raised their heads again and looked at each other.

Because the same prompt box popped up on their phones——

"terribly sorry!
This product is currently unavailable for pre-order or purchase in your region.

We are doing our best to promote the global sales of this product, please be patient. "

Huanyue's mouth opened silently, and a strong sense of unease arose in his heart.

"Fuck you! I'm from Xia country, why don't you sell me?" An old man broke down.

"Because of Germany's import policy restrictions?" The orthopedic doctor was relatively rational and gave a guess based on his expertise, "Does the somatosensory suit need to apply for medical device licenses in Germany?"

"Is this really important?" The last guy was anxious. "Let me open a proxy. He said it's restricted by region. I'll change the IP to see if it works."

"Yes, yes, change the IP!" Huanyue grabbed a life-saving straw and quickly opened the proxy.

Then with trembling fingers, click on booking again.

But in his desperate eyes, the prompt box popped up again.

He switched to the [Tactile Gloves] page with disapproval.

But the result was the same, I couldn't make a reservation due to regional reasons.

He switched on the VR glasses again somewhat numbly, and paid the deposit with a click.

Fingerprint payment, booking successful.

"?"

Huanyue felt that something was wrong.

He then switched to the pages for the motion capture matrix and omnidirectional treadmill and tried to book them one by one.

The results were all successful!

"So... everything else is fine, except the somatosensory sync suit and haptic gloves?"

"Are you kidding me??"

Huanyue didn't think twice and immediately contacted her friends in China to help with the reservation.

Then I found out that these two items are limited in quantity, and each person can only buy one somatosensory suit and one pair of tactile gloves at most.

Friends have already decided.

Out of desperation, he sent a message in the fan group, offering to buy a new, unopened somatosensory synchronization suit and a pair of tactile gloves at double the price.

At that time, there were a lot of people who were willing to do so.

To ensure that everything went smoothly, he contacted the five people he was most familiar with and agreed to charge them double the price.

Now he is anxiously waiting for five die-hard fans to receive the packages and send them to him.

He hasn't touched his first wife Huo Huo's hand for 8 years!

I really can't wait any longer!

Especially when he thought that today, millions of soldiers would wear somatosensory synchronization suits and VR glasses to meet Huo Huo, but he, the husband, could only watch from outside the screen...

This really made him unable to control his expression!

On the other side, Geek Star also received the delivery news.

He called the deliveryman directly and promised to give him extra hard work fees if he delivered the goods to him first.

If delivered within 1 hour, I will give you 800 yuan; if delivered within 2 hours, I will give you 500 yuan.

The deliveryman immediately made a promise and told him to wait at home.

After receiving the promise, Geek Star quickly released a live broadcast preview, which would be held in one hour.

Then he looked at the backstage excitedly, looking forward to the appointment data taking off.

But as he waited, he felt something was wrong——

The data is growing too slowly!
Normally, even if we live broadcast a test of dropping a mobile phone from the 1st floor to the 6th floor, the number of reservations can exceed 1 within 3 hour.

but now……

The popularity of Dream Building is very high, and what is to be demolished are the highly anticipated black technology body sensing suits and tactile gloves. It is normal to exceed 10 in an hour!

But now... why are these data increasing one by one?
“Am I restricted?”

He checked the status carefully and did not see the small yellow mark indicating current limit.

I asked customer service and they also said no.

But the data just won’t go up.

After a full half hour, the number of reservations just broke through 1000, which made him doubt his life.

The geek realized that there must be something wrong here.

But he couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

The phone vibrates; the courier has arrived.

Without time to think, he went out to sign for the package, and when he came back he quickly prepared for the live broadcast.

——No matter what, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Once the peak of popularity is missed, it will never come back.

Disassembly is imperative!
Maybe there’s just a bug in the live broadcast reservation system?

He comforted himself in his mind.

　6.2k for monthly ticket please!
