The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 472 Pang Yun is on the headlines, Xu Meng's sickle (asking for monthly tickets)

In the live broadcast room that Xu Meng closed, a group of players sent barrages of comments to the black screen with no signal, angrily criticizing Pang Yun.

Among them, there was a special player who was so angry that he vomited blood——

Li Xinghao was about to collapse.

He is the only person in the world who is protected from addiction by Dream Building.

He was playing games in an Internet cafe because he wanted to have fun. He was pinned down on the keyboard by six policemen in front of everyone in the live broadcast room.

There was a big fuss.

The final result was: Zhumeng not only froze his "Frost and Snow Project" account for a year, but also sent him five large boxes of excellent test papers and past exam questions in various subjects!

The most outrageous thing is that Zhumeng also required him to finish all five boxes of review materials.

Otherwise, even if he becomes an adult, he won’t be unblocked!
When Li Xinghao received the five big boxes of test questions, he really wanted to die!
Why did he skip classes to play games in the Internet cafe?

It’s because I don’t like studying!

He didn't even unpack the box before stuffing it under the bed.

After surviving the attention of the entire network, he quickly returned to his old ways:
title?

Then I'll try a different ID number.

This time I won’t use the wanted criminal’s, I’ll use my grandparents’.

But it still doesn't work.

Only then did he realize that Zhumeng had colluded with his parents and he could not use any of his family members' ID cards.

Li Xinghao still refused to admit defeat.

Go to the Internet cafe and play other games instead.

'You're not the only one in the world who has built a gaming company!'

He thought so.

Under normal circumstances, this little episode would most likely just end up like that.

But the subsequent development of the matter was completely different from what he imagined.

Dream building began to advance rapidly, and the global gaming industry underwent sudden changes.

Li Xinghao was soon shocked to find out:
The punishment of having your ID number marked by Zhumeng is getting more severe day by day!
Dream Building only has one game, "Frost and Snow Project", which is restricted to those under 18 years old.

The later "Lord of War" and "Monster Hunter" have no restrictions.

The sprawling metropolis can be logged in as long as you have access to the Internet - at most some specific areas are inaccessible.

As a result, his classmates and friends all started discussing these games and the incredible new technologies for building dreams, and he couldn't get a word in at all.

Even the most hard-working nerds in the class would go to Mansheng Mall.

Only he didn't.

Because he was blacklisted by the entire Dream Building Game Company!
After a fierce psychological struggle.

On a dark and windy night, Li Xinghao desperately dragged five large boxes out from under the bed, tore off the tape, and faced his fate.

What a painful and desperate time it was.

Li Xinghao felt like he was going to collapse just thinking about it.

Even after the college entrance examination was over, when his classmates began to tear up their books to celebrate and go out to play and enjoy their summer vacation, he was still concentrating on writing the test paper!
But hard work pays off.

He finally finished the last set of papers today!
And tomorrow is the day he turns 18.

He has made up his mind to have a great time, a crazy time! A crazy time!
Even his parents had agreed and had even bought him a dream machine - he had worked day and night and studied diligently for a year, which made his parents very satisfied. They bought him the dream machine without waiting for the college entrance examination results to come out.

But he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen at the last moment!
Pang Yun's move was like a bolt from the blue for Xu Meng's plan to carry out large-scale anti-addiction measures.

It is really difficult for others to understand his mood at this moment.

The classmates didn’t quite understand why he would post a desperate message when everyone had just finished the college entrance examination and finally felt relieved:
[Fuck your mother! ! Pang Yun! Fuck your mother! ! ]
Concise and powerful, speaking directly from the heart!

Before this latest update, there is a update he just posted 20 minutes ago:

[Done! Done! I'll be released from prison tomorrow!]
The picture shows five large boxes of test papers and real questions.

Li Xinghao’s pilipili account also has nearly 2,000 followers.

Just now these fans were congratulating him on his successful release from prison.

Now when I see this latest "Fuck Pang Yun" post, I can't stop laughing.

Under the "anti-addiction" threat brought upon himself by Pang Yun, Li Xinghao only replied to five or six posts on average, but was countered by hundreds of replies from netizens who were just watching the fun!

Half of the people expressed sympathy for his plight, while the other half followed him in cursing Pang Yun.

Not just pilipili here.

There is also Weiguang, Mengjin, and even overseas social networks and the sprawling cities of the virtual world.

Millions of people expressed their sincere and intense emotions towards Pang Yun.

Not to mention the extremely foul language used by players and netizens, a large number of media and self-media also reposted this matter.

The previous news that "Xu Meng's brain-computer interface technology is suspected to have serious problems" has attracted the attention of countless people around the world.

Now that the matter is over, the media must give a result.

Pang Yun's 14 hours of hard work in 292 days led Xu Meng to prepare to launch an anti-addiction policy. This led to Pang Yun's photo appearing on the front page of many news websites around the world.

——The major events that happened in the virtual world are enough to make the headlines of any news website.

On this day, Pang Yun's name resounded throughout the world!
The only good news for Pang Yun at this moment is that he has been forcibly disconnected from the Internet.

Not only the brain-computer interface, but also the mobile phone was disconnected from the Internet.

At this time, he could only fall into a deep sleep with anxiety and uneasiness under the effect of the sleeping patch.

It would be eight hours before he faced the storm.

……

……

Zhumeng didn’t have time to pay attention to these.

After Pang Yun fell asleep, he watched the expert team test Pang Yun's physiological data and the stability of his brain-computer interface.

I didn't feel completely relieved until I was sure there was no serious hardware failure.

I also spent some time adding an 8-hour consciousness login limit to Pang Yun.

——If you still want to play, stand up and go play on the omnidirectional treadmill!

After finishing Pang Yun's matter, Xu Meng went back to the office without stopping to check the average gaming time of elderly users over 60 years old.

With sufficient support from testers and technical teams, the [Rejuvenation] project went very smoothly.

He feels that it is not far from being launched on the market.

In addition to Pang Yun’s “reminder”, we must first understand the target users——

Less than a week after the release of the "Promotional Video for Seniors", Zhumeng had more than 4000 million registered senior users.

Among them, more than 2200 million people have used the Dream Machine to log in.

This is because the dream machine is in short supply right now.

With the dual support of "age promotion" and "state subsidy", the 1000 million promotional devices allocated separately by Zhumeng were sold out!

Of the remaining 1200 million users, 400 million already own Dream Machines.

Another 800 million were dragged by young people at home to try out the game using their own devices.

The elderly users who log in using the Junior Dream Machine are fine, and their online time is very healthy.

However, for those who own their own devices, the average gaming time is quite long, which is not inferior to that of young people in their prime!

In its current state, this isn't a problem if played with the Dream Machine.

But if the [rejuvenation] technology is popularized, these “Internet-addicted elderly people” will all have problems!

Even just the 6 hours of [Rejuvenation] time per day requires a lot of computing power.

If you multiply this cost by 2000 million...

The profits that DreamMaker made from selling the dream machine to them will have to be paid back in a few months!
"Hmm...do we need to open a monthly VIP account?"

“Selling computing power for money?”

This is not quite what Xu Meng imagined.

——He originally thought of it as a welfare benefit.

Once you start collecting money, things start to get tricky.

Of course, if you really want to engage in this business, you will definitely make a lot of money.

You can even fill in the price manually and decide how much you want to earn.

But making money is no longer Xu Meng’s top priority.

So he thought about it and came up with a plan -

Technology should benefit society.

So this technology must be released.

However, after the technology is released, only 3 hours of free [rejuvenation] time per day will be provided for the time being.

This time period puts the least pressure on the brain, and the computing power required to compensate for the cost is also completely controllable.

Afterwards, the three hours with gradually increasing costs will be turned into a membership service, and the soaring costs will be compensated by collecting membership fees.

Finally, in addition to these 6 hours, a “time-based payment” model is added.

Use extremely high charging standards to make up for the huge increase in computing power costs.

The money earned from this part can even be used as welfare to give back to those elderly users who are reluctant to spend money.

Anyway, there are so many old men and women in this world who have more money than they can spend.

As for the membership fee standard...

This thing requires a lot of computing power, and DreamBuild’s server headquarters is in Xia Country.

So according to common sense, the monthly fee for overseas users is higher than that for Chinese users, which is also very reasonable, right?
