The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 357 Server Array! Brain-Computer Interface!

Compared to [Organ Mutation], this gameplay has unlimited potential and is incredibly demanding.

[Sea World travel] is much easier.

Ciri can throw the player into the sea with just a snap of her fingers.

What awaits players next is the thrilling "Shipwreck Survival".

A sampan and a hook, and you can soak in it for a whole day.

There isn't much the players can do on this small sampan.

Only some wood, wooden boxes and other debris will randomly float on the sea every three to five minutes and can be caught by the player's hook.

The wood can be used directly to reinforce the sampan.

Wooden boxes can randomly reveal wood and iron, or miscellaneous props such as iron barrels, fishing rods, food, water, walkie-talkies, batteries, etc.

All players have to do is to strengthen and expand the sampan, make weapons, deal with shark attacks, collect food and water, and extend their survival time.

If you have more energy, collect more props to improve your living conditions at sea.

The overall pace is slow.

Many times, we wait on the blue sea.

Waiting for the sun to set, waiting for the wooden box to appear, waiting for the fish to bite, waiting for the waves to get smaller...

This leisurely pace makes players who come to this sea feel polarized.

Impatient players think it is too slow and they can't wait to jump into the sea to catch fish.

Players with a slow temper think it’s great. Just sitting on a sampan, enjoying the waves of the sea and waiting for the fish to bite is already great.

Not to mention that you can expand the sampan as you wish and transform it bit by bit into your own boat.

Double happiness!
It’s just that players with slower tempers tend not to participate in disputes on social networks, and even express their opinions less frequently.

Therefore, this trip is not highly regarded in the player circle.

Therefore, [Ocean Travel] became the least popular of Ciri's three options.

Of course, the "low popularity" here just means that there are few players who actually choose it.

In terms of discussion heat, it is not inferior to the other two options.

Because everyone is speculating: This ocean survival gameplay may very well be an experiment in the gameplay of DreamWorks' next game!

There is precedent for this too!
Previously, Dream Building had inserted an [Age of Madness] mode into "Lord of War" to test the waters.

When the conditions were ripe, we immediately expanded the scale, improved the mechanisms, and created "Monster Hunter".

Now, a new game called "Ocean Survival" has been created in the Easter egg of "Monster Hunter".

This is most likely paving the way for new games in the future!
Well-informed players already knew that Lu Ming, the former chief planner of "Bird of Divines", had already jumped ship to DreamCraft with a dozen of the core members of "Bird of Divines".

The current chief planner of "The Divine Bird" was so upset by the continuous resignation of employees that he once posted a message late at night, accusing Lu Ming of being ungrateful and poaching employees from his former company, which caused the team to encounter technical difficulties in development and the new version update had to be postponed.

At that time, everyone was looking forward to an Internet battle between the two chief planners of "The Divine Bird".

Unfortunately, just 20 minutes after the post was published, the current chief planner hastily deleted it.

Lu Ming did not come out to respond to this matter, which disappointed the netizens.

Now, because of Ciri's [Ocean Travel] Easter Egg, players once again went to Lu Ming's social network account to leave messages, asking him if he was leading a team to produce a game on the theme of "Ocean Survival".

Lu Ming still said nothing.

It’s like I completely forgot I even have a social account.

The players had no choice but to find someone who liked to talk.

That is Xu Meng.

"Boss Xu! The main storyline of Monster Hunter has been completed, and the hidden boss has been defeated. It's time to launch Ocean Survival!"

"Boss Xu, can you tell us a little bit about the new project that Lu Ming is working on?"

"Boss Xu, stop hiding it. Ocean travel is the main gameplay of the new game, right?" "Isn't the gameplay of the new game a little too casual?"

"@Xu Meng, Boss Xu, please say something!"

……

Xu Meng didn't answer.

Because of an explosive piece of news, which overshadowed the voices of the players, it also attracted most of Xu Meng's attention——

The President of the United States declared in a public speech:
"In order to better protect national security, commercial security and citizen privacy and respond to cyber attacks from abroad, the federal government will launch a super project - [The Great Firewall of The Internet]."

And declared:
"Before, we used the border wall to successfully block millions of illegal immigrants from entering the country!"

"Now, we will also use this Internet firewall to block overseas hackers' attacks on the domestic Internet!"

This speech caused an explosive impact around the world.

Everyone knows that this speech was a response to the previous incident in which DreamWorks fought alone against seven and crashed the servers of seven large multinational companies.

But no one can be sure whether the president is serious about his speech or using it as an excuse to crack down on Internet giants who do not obey his commands.

Or maybe they just want to take advantage of the popularity and show their presence.

If it is serious, what serious consequences will it cause?

These days, global media have been reporting and analyzing the impact this incident will have on the global Internet.

Some people also speculated whether more targeted policies would be introduced in the future to restrict the development of Dream Building in the United States.

Xu Meng couldn't help but pay attention to this matter.

But when he discovered that no one could predict the president's thoughts, he stopped wasting his time and just waited quietly for the results.

We waited but never got to see the President’s second move.

Instead, on March 3, the [Foundation Laying] mission was suddenly completed!

His guess was correct.

The mission objective [build your own gaming platform and gain at least 1000 million platform users] is actually two requirements.

The latter goal of 1000 million users has already been achieved by DreamZhu.

It even exceeded the target by 40 times.

But the previous "game platform" does have requirements on the number of games released on this platform.

On March 3, in addition to its own games, DreamCraft launched 28 more games, including "Evil Ghost!", "Nations", "Forza 5", etc., finally meeting the system's minimum requirements for a "game platform".
