The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 367: Targeting from the Superpower! (asking for monthly votes)

"The value of the Honor Player has been proven once again!"

"I now seriously suspect that people like Honor Players have already used these devices!"

"Remember the Dragon City Flying General who destroyed an ant colony with one punch? Did he use a dream machine to do that?"

"Xu Meng said that this machine can 'fill in the blanks', and Long Cheng Feijiang thinks he is awesome, so he is really awesome?"

"So, what if I have a wet dream?"

"Stop talking nonsense and say something reliable. Now I can really work during the day and play games at night!"

“No more running on the omnidirectional treadmill? Great!”

"I have to watch Xu Meng's press conference again! I thought it was just a joke and didn't watch it seriously."

“I have to watch it again!”

……

After basically confirming the authenticity of the dream machine, the players were a little bit unbelievable at first, and then immediately became excited.

In various places such as Mengjin, Pilipili, live broadcast rooms, chat groups, etc., people are discussing the dream machine crazily.

Some people look back on the "unsolved mysteries" of the past, while others imagine the gaming experience of the future.

More people couldn't wait to watch Xu Meng's introduction of the dream machine at the press conference.

The number of views of the single Dream Machine introduction segment has skyrocketed.

The number of people [watching at the same time] soared from over 800 to [10+]!

The barrage of comments skyrocketed!

What everyone had thought of as a joke before, now became bold words that made people's hearts flutter.

"Build a bridge between dreams and games!"

“A 100% immersive experience!”

“Let your brain participate in creation!”

……

Every word can make countless players cheer.

[Awesome!]
[Invincible!]
[god!]
Exaggerated comments like these were everywhere.

At this time, no one said that the evaluation of Xu Meng and Dream Machine in the [Game Observation] article was too exaggerated.

Everyone felt that Gu Chen was absolutely right!

No matter how you look at it, this kind of thing would be hidden away as a national treasure, but now it is taken out for everyone to use.

No one knows how Xu Meng did it, but to achieve this goal, she must have put in a lot of effort!
What does this mean?
This shows that Boss Xu cares about everyone!

Just for this, I have to offer a toast to Boss Xu.

Especially Xu Meng's words——

“A great journey is just ahead!”

It made all the audience excited and they couldn’t wait to join this journey!

Overnight, countless players changed their signatures to this sentence.

Screenshots, posters, and short videos with this sentence as the core are continuously produced by players and spread across the Internet like a virus.

The real "ticket" to embark on this journey is -

The number of registrations for the [Ocean Survival Competition], which previously had only 180 million applicants, has also seen explosive growth.

Even the registration page showed the message [Server is busy, please try again later].

But the players who signed up have no intention of giving up.

Try again later?

What if too many people sign up and DreamBuild directly says it’s full?
People would rather open both their phones and computers and frantically refresh the page than close the page and wait for several hours.

This means that the "registration" itself has become a competition about "internet speed" and "luck".

The problem was not solved until DreamHub urgently allocated more resources to this registration interface.

At this time, the number of registrations has exceeded the astonishing 1600 million mark!
There is not even any exaggeration in the number of people who have registered - netizens who are just joining in the fun cannot register at all, these 1600 million are all real players!
This number is not final yet.

There are still players signing up in the background. When the registration ends in three days, we don’t know how exaggerated the number of people will be!

……

In this sea of ​​​​madness, Qifan looked at the transfer record of 100 yuan on his mobile phone and his heart sank.

It took me a long time to come back to my senses, and I went to Mengjin to post:

[Ahhhh! Why didn’t you tell me earlier! ! I’ve sold all my electronic authentication cards! Boss Xu, compensate me! Compensate me! ]
Under the post, a lot of voices of gloating immediately emerged.

Even the guy who bought the e-card popped up and replied with three words:

"Thanks!"

Qifan was so angry that he slapped himself.

But there is no other way except to sign up for the [Ocean Survival Competition] and compete for that slim hope.

……

……

The influence of the dream machine is certainly not limited to Xia Country.

After the [BitStorm] battle, DreamBuild has undoubtedly become a large multinational company with global influence.

Not to mention, the [Digital Emperor] himself came to give a speech at this press conference.

The global attention is astonishingly high.

But they were also troubled by Xu Meng's outrageous behavior, both true and false.

Until now, when the authenticity of the Dream Machine was finally confirmed, the excitement that had been brewing for a long time finally exploded! Major media websites around the world put the Dream Machine on the front page!
A half-length photo of Xu Meng, a close-up of the dream machine at the press conference, and a huge [Breaking] logo representing "explosive news"...

Sweeping the world!

This immediately caused a sensation!

Needless to say, the players were very excited.

What’s even more amazing is——

When the stock market opened the next day, the share prices of six technology and Internet companies, including [Avalon Network], [Gold Chain], [Cloud Foundry], [Netcom], etc., whose servers had been overwhelmed by DreamWorks, actually stabilized!

These companies have had a very difficult time over the past month.

After Xu Meng crashed the server, the stock price plummeted for three consecutive days.

After that, even though the company sent senior executives to the DreamZhu headquarters in Ningzhou to buy "indulgences", it was unable to restore the stock price.

Only [Netcom], [Golden Chain], and [Cloud Foundry] have reached relatively deep cooperation with DreamBuilder.

[Online News] Provides online sales support for DreamZhu, supporting the online sales of DreamZhu products in the global market.

[Gold Chain] provides Dream Building with more favorable cross-border payment and settlement services.

[Cloud Foundry] provides cloud servers for Zhumeng’s overseas business at very favorable prices.

The stock price has basically stabilized.

Although the other three companies also tried to reach cooperation with Zhumeng, due to the low business relevance, they could only reach some superficial cooperation such as "cooperative research and development" and "technical exchange".

This level of cooperation is completely unable to convince the market, so the stock price continues to fall.

But now, everything is different!
After the authenticity of the dream machine was confirmed, all companies that have cooperated with the dream machine have been almost unconditionally sought after in the capital market!

The declining companies not only stopped falling, but even started to recover.

[Wangxun], [Jinlian] and [Yunzhuzhu], which have relatively close cooperation, even experienced a surge of 7 or 8 points!
At the same time, Sony's global hardware sales hit rock bottom.

Not only did downstream dealers stop picking up goods, they also began to compete to cut prices to clear inventory.

In order to clear the inventory as quickly as possible, they even do not hesitate to drop below the purchase price.

It is better to bear the loss of cost and get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid having all the inventory on hand and turning it into waste taking up space.

But even though they offered a huge discount of "half off", sales still did not improve.

——At this time, players are either saving money and preparing to buy a dream machine in the future.

Or maybe they think the price of the game station can still drop!
Is 50% off a good deal?

Compared with the original price in the past, it is indeed very cheap.

But compared with the future, it’s hard to say!

Buy now?
Absolutely impossible!
Let’s fall first!
Now everyone can see that Sony Game Station is doomed!

It's not just Sony that's suffering.

DreamBuilder and its partners had been launching a massive offensive over the previous month, continuously encroaching on Sony's North American market share. The Softote Game Box executives were also struck by lightning!

They were quite farsighted.

Not only did we reach a game development cooperation with DreamWorks, we also reached a hardware compatibility agreement.

According to the agreement, the game box will be able to support holographic display devices by the middle of this year.

In their view, they have boarded the ship of the next generation of the gaming industry.

Only then did they feel at ease to invest large sums of money to attack Sony and erode the market.

But now, they suddenly discovered——

The Sofort game box has indeed boarded the ship of the next generation, but on the other side of this "next generation" ship, DreamBuild has built another ship!

That wasn't even a ship for sailing at sea, it was a fucking spaceship!
This completely unexpected and outrageous event resulted in the fact that Softo Game Box, which had the longest cooperation time and the closest relationship with DreamCraft, experienced a sharp drop in stock price when the stock prices of other companies soared!
All senior management had to hold an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

But this meeting was interrupted by an unexpected news halfway through -

The White House spokesman appointed by the President held a press conference and announced at the meeting:

“The Great Firewall, a super digital project, has been officially signed by the President and will soon enter the actual development process.”

"Once the Great Firewall is built, entities deemed by the federal government to be unfriendly, unsafe, inhumane, and illegal will be banned from our territorial cyberspace."

This statement shocked the whole world.

After the president mentioned the "Great Firewall" publicly once, he has been using it to criticize domestic social media giants.

But there was never any sign of advancement.

It wasn't even discussed in any formal meeting.

A month later, everyone has regarded this incident as a threat to domestic Internet giants.

But now, on the second day after the announcement of the Dream Machine, this major project suddenly entered the implementation stage!
This is so obvious!

Even during the entire press conference, the spokesperson did not mention any words such as "building dreams", "promising dreams", or "dream machine".

The spokesperson also avoided all the targeted questions from the reporters.

It also cannot stop the media and netizens from expressing their opinions——

This is definitely for dream building!

One is a creator of technology that has the potential to define the future of the Internet, and the other is the leader of the world's only superpower.

This tit-for-tat immediately added huge variables to everything!
This time, it wasn’t just the top management of Softo Game Box who attended the meeting.

All the big companies are nervous!

Even Dream Building was no exception, especially the staff in the International Relations Department, who were so anxious that sweat was pouring down their foreheads.

But at this critical moment, an invitation letter from the United States was sent to Zhumeng——

The organizer of the [International Neural Interface and Virtual Reality Summit] sincerely invites the Dream Building Technology Team to San Francisco for friendly technical exchanges.
