The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 174 Song Zhicheng: It’s broken, it’s coming for me

Chapter 174 Song Zhicheng: It’s broken, it’s coming for me (asking for monthly tickets)
Zhang Siming was very anxious and quickly replied to Xu Meng:

"Boss Xu! I have time! We don't have a competition until December, and there are only some training matches before that. I can definitely participate in the intensive training!"

After posting the comment, he also sent a private message to Xu Meng:

"I have already convinced the manager that if things don't work out, the substitute can take my place. It will definitely not delay the competition!"

After posting it, he began to feel anxious:
Is Xu Meng still here?

Could he be busy with other things?
Can the competition be concluded before December?
……

Zhang Siming felt uneasy for a long time.

Until Xu Meng replied to him: "OK, pay attention to the private message."

"Yes!!!" He jumped up from his chair excitedly!

He then quickly shared the good news with his fans.

His success attracted the attention of other professional players.

They all came over and asked Zhang Siming how he did it.

Zhang Siming had already obtained the qualification, so he had no intention of hiding anything and shared with them the reasons why he had communicated with the club manager.

——Basically, it’s all about bragging about the extremely high attention this competition has received, and then describing the future vision and so on.

The most critical step was that he showed his manager a report:
[Building dreams is creating the future! ]
This article, written by the well-known financial media [Daily Finance], reveals the huge potential of Zhumeng’s new product [Fantasy Game Kit]——
-
……

Many media and netizens have already vaguely realized:
Dream Building is doing something big.

The big thing is not that they are innovating and upgrading VR games.

Instead, they are creating a whole new form of the Internet!
A few years ago, when the concept of VR was just emerging, it triggered a frenzy of capital craze.

At that time, everyone thought that a new era was about to come, and VR would become a new way of human-computer interaction, just like the mobile Internet revolutionized the traditional Internet, and would once again revolutionize the Internet at that time.

The Metaverse and Internet 3.0 are both sequels to that craze.

But until now, these concepts are still concepts. Nothing has happened except that waves of leeks have been cut and lost all their money.

But now, things are finally changing.

Dream Building quietly came up with a mature and even more advanced product——

A fantasy gaming kit consisting of a somatosensory synchronization suit, VR glasses and an omnidirectional treadmill.

I wouldn't say this set is perfect, but there is no doubt that a real virtual world is being nurtured on this soil!

When the virtual city that Zhumeng talks about is completed, the real (rather than conceptual) metaverse will appear before everyone.

By then, games and the Internet will enter a new stage.

There is a popular saying among young people:
"Gaming is a way of life."

Now, this sentence still describes the philosophy of life.

But in the future, this sentence may become an accurate statement——

[New form of gaming] and [new form of the Internet] have merged into one and become a common lifestyle.

Xu Meng said in an interview with Game Observer:

“Dream Building hopes to provide players with a more interesting lifestyle.”

And in the eyes of a game developer, what other lifestyle could be more interesting than this?

I cannot judge whether this idea is correct or not.

But I have to be fair to what he is doing:
He is doing something incredible, an absolutely great feat in the Internet world——

Reshape the new form of the Internet.

And now, the seeds of this great undertaking have been born!

When it comes to storytelling and promoting concepts, the financial media’s strength is second only to technology companies and startup teams.

Such articles can only excite new investors.

When experienced investors see this, they will just give it a thumbs up and move on.

But for netizens and players who don’t understand the capital market, it is too inflammatory!
Especially those who have personally experienced the Fantasy Game Kit, felt the immersive human-computer interaction, and appreciated the sprawling urban scenery, they immediately believed in this statement!

Zhang Siming is one of these people.

He believes that Dream Building will inevitably change the way games are played in the future. If one wants to continue playing professionally in the future, he must adapt to the new form of e-sports as soon as possible.

He used the same reason to convince the club manager.

Other professional players said they had learned something and used this set of words to pua their own club managers.

Some of them succeeded, some failed.

But no matter what, the team of anchors for the Blazing Competition is growing rapidly!
……

……

Huanyue became increasingly anxious as she watched the 50 spots left for the competition dwindle.

He had no intention of "having a brush with retired soldiers".

But now DreamBuilding is constantly recruiting people, and he sees so many unfamiliar names boarding the DreamBuilding ship, and he suddenly feels unbalanced!

——It was obviously me who came here first!

In his anxious mood, he did not bother to slowly improve the rules and hire personnel, but directly issued the competition registration notice:
-
Brothers, you have been waiting for a long time!

The Death Bluffing Contest mentioned in the live broadcast is confirmed to be held!

Total prize money: 53!
（冠军30万，亚军10万，季军5万，4-10名每人1万）
There is no registration threshold!

As long as you can open Lord of War and sit at the card table in the tavern, you can participate in this competition!

Friends who are interested can now open the pinned link in the comment area and register.

The registration period lasts for 3 days and ends at 9 noon on September 5th.

At that time, we will arrange the competition schedule according to the number of participants.

Everyone is welcome to sign up!

In the past two days, starting with the live broadcast of the card-playing game by Brave Sniper, Orange Juice, Huanyue and Qihuahua, the popularity of Death Roulette in the player circle has been increasing!
But because Xumeng did not provide a matching function, many people encountered difficulties in finding poker partners. A dozen pages of Mengjinli were full of posts looking for poker partners.

Now Huanyue has stepped forward to host the competition, not only providing card-playing partners but also offering prize money, which immediately attracted the attention of a large number of players.

Brave Sniper, Orange Juice and Qihuahua also quickly forwarded this post to help increase the popularity of Huanyue's game.

With this multiple assistance, the registration form in front of Huanyue is automatically refreshed every minute and every second!

Every time you refresh the page, there will be at least a dozen and as many as forty or fifty registration information popping up.

In less than an hour, the number of registrations exceeded 1!

Huanyue licked her dry lips, feeling a little nervous.

He found group members who were willing to help part-time, and was ready to expand the scale of employment at any time.

But he also knew:

If the scale of participating players reaches a certain level, it will sooner or later exceed the limits of their organizational capabilities.

——After all, Dream Building did not develop a special competition system, and the tavern where the competition took place was a small space that could only accommodate three small round tables, rather than a battle platform on the computer screen where one could add unlimited card tables.

In Huanyue’s psychological expectations, 20 people is almost the critical point.

There are 3 card tables in a pub, and 4 players at each table, so an average of 1 games can be played in 4 hour.

So he only had to hire 40 people to host the game for 8 hours a day.

(The game comes with a dealer, and part-timers only need to cue the process, which is not a heavy task)
The maximum number of participants that can be handled each day is:

3*4*4*8*40=15360
Taking into account unexpected circumstances, the actual number is bound to be lower.

But at the same time, in actual competitions, many people will give up due to time or other reasons, and the pressure will be less.

With this increase and decrease, roughly speaking, the preliminary round of 20 people can be completed in two weeks.

This intensity is already very high!
If it exceeds that number, he will have to seek help.

——He can hire more people, but if there are too many people, other problems will arise.

So his plan is: if the number of participating players exceeds 20, he will seek help from Dream Building.

Huanyue has a wonderful intuition——

Dream Building will definitely be willing to help.

Thinking of this, he even hoped that more and more players would sign up for the competition.

It would be best if there were a million contestants, directly exceeding the limit and forcing Zhumeng to quit!
Then he can get on board naturally.

Huanyue was having a sweet dream when someone in the fan group suddenly @ him: "Group leader, something happened!"

"look at this!"

Huanyue enlarged the screenshots sent by fans for unknown reasons.

I found out that it was the update from another famous P-station player named [Shan Gui] - he also said that he would take out 53 to start a death bluffing competition.

Before Huanyue could think about whether this person was playing tricks on him, another group member immediately discovered that the third krypton guy had appeared:

[Electronic Music Edison] will also take out 53 yuan in prize money to hold a death bluffing competition.

Then came the fourth and fifth.

Huanyue was stunned.

What do you mean?
As soon as I send out the bonus, you all send it out as well, and you all set the same bonus amount as I do...

Are you sniping me?

However, through the messages from his fans, he found out that these people had sent him private messages, but he was busy figuring out what to do in the competition and didn't have time to read them.

He simply added all of them as friends and created a small group.

After some communication, the misunderstanding was basically resolved.

Everyone was aiming for the title of "Honorary Player" and was indeed inspired by his ideas and followed suit to organize the competition.

In order to express our apologies, we waited until after him to release the announcement, and set the same bonus amount as his.

Huanyue looked at the super rich people in the group saying "sorry, sorry" and "forgive me", and her mind turned and she came up with a new idea:
"Brother, since we have the same goal, why don't we join forces and do something big?"

"big?"

"What's big?"

The other five local tyrants started asking questions one after another.

Huanyue quickly tapped the keyboard: "Listen to me..."

……

An hour later, Song Zhicheng received an urgent plan submitted by the customer service representative for key customers:

[Lord of War Death Bluffing Contest Six Provinces League]
"???"

Just seeing this title made Song Zhicheng full of questions.

The more he looked down, the more question marks appeared in his head——

"what?"

"Six-province league? 320 million in prize money?"

"The ultimate gambling king?"
