The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 442 Big data on the first day! (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)

Xu Meng was shocked.

Xiao Meng was also shocked.

What shocked Xu Meng was that: "I built the dream machine so that you can have time to play games after get off work without affecting your rest."

"You guys are working overtime in your fucking dreams?"

What shocked Xiao Meng was: "Working 24 hours a day... is that difficult?"

"Ah?" Xu Meng looked at Xiao Meng in even greater shock.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't exploit you!"

Xu Meng would arrange a lot of courses for Xiao Meng, and would also give her a considerable amount of tasks when they worked together.

But the "big" here refers to human standards.

In fact, the huge amount of code that is too much for humans is no pressure for her.

It was always completed quickly and never had to be delayed until the end of the working day.

Once it's time to get off work, Xu Meng will not assign her any work and will just take the little one out to eat, drink and have fun.

At most, we would ask her to help monitor some emergencies.

That's it. It's not full-time surveillance, but once the alarm procedures are set up, you don't have to worry about it anymore.

If the alarm doesn't sound, ignore it.

By AI standards, her work isn’t simply undersaturated… it’s very undersaturated!

In this case, why would we need to work 24 hours a day?

If she really worked for 24 hours straight, it was only because she didn't need to sleep and was bored so she found something to do!
"Yes, yes." Little Dream Duck sat on the quilt, nodded happily, and his two cat ears shook.

"So what is the master going to do? Help them?"

"I would like to, but..."

Xu Meng sat at the head of the bed, casually swiping the holographic page projected by Xiao Meng, looking at the updates of netizens on the social network, and found that it was difficult to make a one-size-fits-all judgment.

"But how can I manage it?"

“Delete all the pens and papers in the virtual world??”

"Should we turn "meeting" and "work" into blocked words and just "beep" them out when they are spoken?"

Obviously neither works.

Apart from issuing an announcement saying that we do not recommend working in dreams, there seems to be no other good solution.

"Xiao Meng can help!" Xiao Meng raised her arms excitedly.

"Really? What do you think?" Xu Meng asked curiously.

"Xiao Meng can monitor every room in the Sprawling City around the clock!"

——Collective work always requires a venue.

“If we find anyone suspected of working overtime, we sneak in to check.”

"Once you're sure you're really working overtime, summon a meteor to smash the conference room and everyone in it!"

As Xiao Meng spoke, she became more excited, with stars in her big eyes.

While saying this, she was already holding Xu Meng's arm and shaking it coquettishly, hoping that Xu Meng would agree.

Seeing that Xu Meng didn't express her opinion, he waved his hand and simulated a miniature holographic image of a sprawling city in the bedroom.

Meteorites fell from the sky and hit the windows accurately.

Xu Meng felt that this matter was a bit unreliable and a huge waste of server resources.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel that -

This scene is quite cool!
It would be even more handsome if it was magnified a thousand times.

"You can try this for a bit during the weekend, but it can't be taken as a serious approach."

"We can't just kill people when we see them working."

“After all, you can’t be sure whether they are working proactively or reactively.”

On social networks, the opinions about [working overtime in dreams] are not all negative.

But there are some people who really think that it is a good thing to make use of sleeping time.

——Among these people, there are indeed some who are hated by everyone, but there are also a lot of procrastinators.

Some companies are fair and will pay overtime even if you work overtime in a dream.

This is a bit like one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten.

Even in the long run, future work forms may be more flexible.

For example, Xu Meng is considering:

In the future, can we allow most of the employees of Dream Building to have day off and enjoy their lives?

Fall asleep at night and work in your dreams?

Technically there is no problem.

However, living habits and social inertia will not change instantly; this requires a process of gradual adjustment and running-in.

After some thought, Xu Meng finally figured out what was going on:
"It's not appropriate to monitor the entire city directly." "Let's open an anonymous reporting channel so that users can report companies anonymously."

"After receiving the report, we went to the scene to secretly investigate and confirmed that they were forced to work overtime. Then we threw meteorites on their heads and marked everyone's account at the same time."

"Don't mess around if no one reports it."

"When we start work on Monday, we will have a meeting with the Mansheng City and Dream Machine departments to discuss how to modify the user agreement and whether there are better measures. Finally, we will make a formal official announcement."

"Okay!" Xiao Meng jumped up immediately, "So Xiao Meng is going to throw the meteorite?"

"Let's set up a reporting channel first!" Xu Meng was afraid that the little guy would throw meteorites around, so he quickly added a request, "Call me before you do that!"

"Got it~" Xiao Meng started working happily.

Xu Meng then turned to the third topic——

[Dream of revenge against society]
This is much simpler.

Xu Meng saw the first two topics and also needed to think about how serious the problem was and how to solve it.

This is purely for fun.

This topic is full of comments from players who tried to change the plot, but finally found themselves powerless and broke down:

"How cunning! The entire plot can be changed, which made me think that the pirate invasion could be changed, but it didn't work after I tried it eight times!"

"I don't even want to save the town anymore. I just want to run away with my parents and childhood sweetheart. And this is not allowed???"

"It's unbelievable. I wanted to speed up the warship to intercept the pirate ship but was stopped by the commander. I finally managed to get past the commander to inform the general, but the sail had problems again. After I fixed the sail, the wind direction turned against me... My mentality exploded!"

"Is it the development team's revenge on society, or is it Xu Meng's revenge on society?"

"@Xu Meng! Look into my eyes and tell me, did you do this on purpose?!"

……

Beneath these resentful voices, there were a lot of responses from other players that burst into laughter.

Xu Meng watched the excitement but didn't take it too seriously.

After all, pirates are the main "enemy" in "Big Sail".

But the game is designed to be so realistic that the pirates seem like living characters.

The Black Flag project team also designed many charming, handsome, and beautiful pirate characters.

Plus there’s a pirate main plot in the story.

If players are not shown how brutal pirates are, I'm afraid many people would not be able to do it.

Only by giving everyone an initial impression that "pirates are cruel, tyrannical and inhumane" can everyone fight pirates passionately on the sea without any psychological burden!

——This trick is very effective.

The Dragon City Flying General, who originally hated pirates only because his merchant ships were always robbed during the internal test, was completely enraged after seeing the pirates slaughtering the small town on a navy warship.

The main storyline in the Dream Machine is pushed forward just to avenge the dead civilians.

In the open world and adventurer modes, players have also given up on fair head-on confrontations and started to take ruthless actions against the pirates!

In [Mengjin], the first popular post in the "Sailing in the Blue Sea" section has the title:

[100 ways to kill pirates without getting hurt, and earn your first pot of gold!]
The posts contain various methods such as poisoning, throwing lime, setting traps, putting people in sacks, beating people with clubs... there is an endless stream of tricks.

There was even a sinister trick of inviting pirates to drink, then hacking them to death and touching their corpses after they got them drunk.

Players have no psychological barriers when using these dirty tricks.

……

Of course, even if players are dissatisfied, we can’t just ignore them completely.

Especially this kind of "expected" resentment.

When Xu Meng started to eat breakfast, the Black Flag project team took action and released a long poster to divert players' attention——

[Big data of the first day of "Sailing in the Blue Sea"! ]
The first thing that appeared was, of course, the much-anticipated sales data:
"Sail in the Blue Sea" sold over 24 million copies in 2800 hours after it was released!

Compared to the 268 yuan price of "Monster Hunter", the game's price has not increased, but is 40 yuan cheaper.

Compared with the price of the Dream Machine, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Even if we put aside the hardware equipment, this price is extremely cost-effective considering the game quality and capacity alone.

But even so, it generated 24 billion in revenue in just 63 hours!
One day, 63 billion!
When this data came out, colleagues around the world were all shocked!

Several sales forecasting websites immediately doubled their forecast for the first month sales of "Sail in the Blue Sea" from the original 5000 million copies!
Some are even more radical and directly give a forecast of 1 million or even 5000 million copies.

As for annual sales...

It's impossible to predict!

It may even be linked to the total production capacity of the Dream Machine.

And this is the power of the world's first "Pure Blood Dream Game"!

Global peers and media outlets were surprised by the sales volume and forwarded the message to express congratulations.

The players were much calmer.

——In the eyes of players, a 29800 yuan Dream Machine can sell 5000 million units a day.

That 228 game sold 2800 million copies a day, isn't that just a drop in the bucket?
Instead, he was more interested in the big game data below the sales data.

In particular, it also contains the total death toll of characters with three skin colors: [black], [white], and [yellow] in [Race War]!
