The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 473 "Pacifist"

Chapter 473 "Pacifist" (asking for monthly ticket)
Nintendo's latest generation of consoles can reap money from overseas users to subsidize domestic users, so it shouldn't be a big deal if DreamWorks also makes a small profit from it.

——After Sony Game Station became history, the global game console industry also suffered a severe blow.

The share price of Softote Game Box has been cut in half again and again.

No matter how hard they struggle and how much they try to release good news, not many investors are willing to take over.

Only the trapped institutions and retail investors are struggling to hold on, hoping that Dream Bank will give them a hand in view of its many collaborations with Game Box so that they can get out of the trap.

Nintendo is still able to hold on thanks to its completely exclusive first-party games, the console's portability, family-friendly game IPs, and the solid Izumo market.

There is even enough capacity to release a new console.

However, in order to make up for the decline in the stock market and the reduction in revenue, it also began to cut money from overseas users to consolidate its base.

It is completely reasonable for us to learn a little from our predecessors when building our dreams.

If someone is unhappy, he will post a status saying, "Building dreams is learning from our predecessors." If someone is unhappy, go and curse our colleagues!

Xu Meng nodded, and easily convinced himself to wave the rusty sickle slightly.

After calculating the computing power cost, let the marketing department study the charging standards.

After deciding on this matter, he turned his attention to the online data of underage users.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

In the past half month, the number of underage users of DreamZhu has not increased much - about 1800 million.

But among them, more than 1500 million are users under the age of 14!

In the past, the majority of Zhumeng’s underage users were between 15 and 18 years old.

Considering that "Frost Project" is not playable, "Lord of War" is all about fighting and killing, and "Monster Hunter" is also all about fighting and killing.

The lack of younger users makes perfect sense.

My parents have absolutely no intention of doing this.

It was not until the advent of the dream machine that many young parents began to lead their children into the sprawling city.

And 99% of them chose the Sprawling City in [Peaceful Mode].

——Under the popularization and exaggeration of experts from all walks of life, many people now believe that the virtual world and dream machines are likely to have a profound impact on all aspects of social development in the future.

It is even possible that in a few years, it will be deeply integrated with education and employment.

The elders of Xia State have been involved in education for more than ten years and firmly believe in one truth:

[Don’t let your children lose at the starting line! ]
So they began to carefully exchange experiences and lead their children into the dream world.

But when thousands of people start doing this, the backend data will show up in the millions or tens of millions!
Even the youngest user age is so low that Xu Meng is scared when she sees it——

He actually saw a 3-year-old user using the dream machine to enter the Sprawling City!
"Wardfa!"

Xu Meng was shocked.

The instruction manual of the dream machine clearly states:

[Not for use by children under 8 years old]
[For users aged 8 to 12, please strictly limit the usage time]
How dare these parents let their 3-year-old children use it? ?
Over 3 years old, there are hundreds of 5-year-olds, thousands of 6-year-olds, and tens of thousands of 7-year-olds!
And this cannot be excused by not understanding the instructions.

——Most of these users are distributed in first- and second-tier cities!

"Are you parents or mad scientists?"

Xu Meng was really shocked.

The dream machine uses dream games and is said to have no impact on physical health.

But even for adults, frequent dreaming can affect mood and sleep quality, let alone children.

Xu Meng has been paying attention to the player community's feedback in this regard.

Most people don't use dream machines and work to make full use of the 24 hours in a day.

Instead, it will leave yourself some time for pure sleep.

These times are not too long.

Most of the time, it is half an hour to an hour for lunch break, or after having fun in the dreamland for a few hours, I fall asleep in the sprawling city.

——According to the feedback from these people, falling asleep in the sprawling city provides better sleep quality than sleeping directly in reality.

They're not sure if it's psychological, but more and more people are doing this.

Some people even buy dream machines instead of playing games, just for the "legendary" better sleep quality.

So kids, it’s better to get more sleep.

"Xiao Meng, for users under the age of 8, freeze their permission to use the Dream Machine first."

"OK!" Although Xiao Meng was not even 8 years old, she was ruthless in sealing off her 'peers'. "How long will they be frozen? Wait until they are 8 years old?"

"That's it for now. After the freeze, I'll make an announcement to explain it."

As Xu Meng spoke, he had already contacted Wu Shuang.

He needed to ask the think tank behind Wu Shuang to analyze whether to add younger testers to the [Rejuvenation] project, as well as the risks and rewards of doing so.

Children and the elderly are different after all.

Brain atrophy in the elderly is a physiological degeneration.

Although children's brains are immature and their "computing power" is not as good as that of clear-minded elderly people, their potential and plasticity far exceed that of elderly people. If they are influenced in the right way, it may promote the development of children's brains and intelligence.

Xu Meng had a vague premonition——

The gains in this regard will far exceed expectations!
……

……

Building an anti-addiction system for Dream Building will be a very complicated matter.

Xu Meng not only has to consider conventional game issues, but also a series of things such as social impact, economic impact, and technological impact.

So the players waited anxiously for a whole day, and only got a small announcement:

[Freeze the login rights of Dream Machine for users under 8 years old]
This announcement, apart from causing dissatisfaction among a large number of anxious parents, did not cause much waves in the gaming circle.

What really makes everyone anxious is: how to deal with users of other age groups?

But Zhumeng has never spoken about this.

This made everyone feel uneasy, and even Anne Moore's competition for a husband became a little absent-minded.

At night, another thing completely diverted my attention——

Nelson's location was found.

Spanish colony, on a plantation on the outskirts of Santo Domingo.

Hua Zhou saw two special black people.

One is the reason why she came here: a black person with a very strange accent and facial features that are almost exactly the same as the US president when he was young.

The other was a black man who accidentally broke into the camera when she was taking a photo with [US President·Black·Youth Edition].

It is the leader of the [Slave Rebellion] that players have been looking for all over the world these days——

Nelson

Hua Zhou immediately realized that everyone had been deceived by Zhumeng.

In the Black Flag development team's [Black Slave Rebellion] plot trailer, there were many mixed elements.

But the cotton fields and mansions burning in the flames, as well as the blood-red uniforms of the British Royal Navy, left a deep impression on everyone.

So at the beginning, everyone looked in the plantations in various British colonies and some small islands with cotton plantations.

But millions of people searched all over the world for several days and still found nothing.

Finally, she was found in Santo Domingo, which belonged to Spain.

She knew it.

In Santo Domingo, there are no cotton fields!
So the time span of that trailer should be very long!
The slave uprising led by Nelson did not just happen on one island.

——This is likely to be a large-scale event that will sweep across the entire Caribbean!
Hua Zhou watched Nelson working silently and realized:
The time to choose has come.

Nelson's location is now being sought by many people.

By selling this news, she could earn enough to live on for one or two months.

But who to sell it to?
Being happy makes you a superman?

Then this future slave leader might die unexpectedly tonight.

Stuart?

Then Nelson will have an army of hundreds of thousands of black players tonight!

By then, it won’t be a simple matter of uprising…

Huazhou is just a replacement. If there is a character like Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhang Jiao and Huang Chao in the game, he will raise his arms and call for fairness for the oppressed people at the bottom.

God knows what a terrifying army of players he can bring together overnight!

Hua Zhou hesitated.

She is a kind-hearted pacifist.

I don’t want to see the Caribbean become a “zero-dollar shopping sea”.

But I also can't bear to see the only hope of an oppressed race being extinguished like this.

In the end, she didn't accept anyone's reward.

It was just a photo with Nelson, with the time and location watermarked on it, and then it was thrown into Mengjin.

And two copies were lost at once.

One copy for the Chinese community.

One copy for the English community.

Then I closed the private message and found a rooftop with a wider view in the plantation.

Lay out the napkins and place out fruit, bread, coffee and beer.
