The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 487 [Rejuvenation] test is open! (asking for monthly votes)

"Vulgar! You guys are so vulgar!"

"What kind of alien monster girl? I don't even know who is voting!"

"You bunch of perverts, I don't even want to say anything to you!"

Because the World Tree was only ranked sixth, the indignant Qihuahua kept complaining in the live broadcast room.

But the netizens did not feel ashamed at all, instead they proudly replied to her:
"I voted, how about it?!"

"You are a yellow person. You find everything vulgar. You should reflect on yourself more!"

"We are here to study the diversity of life species!"

"That's right. You can like elves, but we can't like dragon girls, cows and sheep girls?"

"But the World Tree and the Custom Girl Massage Parlor seem to go well together! A 150-year-old loli elf!"

……

Qihuahua felt a tingling sensation at the back of her head when she read the netizens’ words.

"Where does it fit?! It doesn't fit at all!!!"

On social networks, netizens are also discussing with laughter:

"Zhu Meng, tell me the truth, the first option was definitely not the massage parlor, right?"

"Hahaha, it must not be! This name is obviously censored!"

"Fuck you, my 84-year-old grandpa just suddenly asked me: What is a slime girl? How do you want me to answer this??"

……

It wasn’t just the first-place prostitute who sparked heated discussions and complaints.

Other options were also discussed by netizens.

——The top 10 candidates received tens of millions of votes, and the options outside the top 10 also received millions of votes.

The popularity of any of these options is enough to make it to the hot search list on social networks.

What's more, now they are all gathered together to fight.

And this is just the amount of voting in two hours, so you can imagine how intense the whole thing was.

It's totally the momentum of topping the list!

The discussion about Fengsu Niang is extremely popular.

The [Big Data Dating Agency], which "inexplicably" rushed to the third place, was also criticized by players:
“Who the hell is voting here?”

"I seriously suspect that it is the newly joined old men and old ladies who are making the effort."

"Is there really anyone who goes on a cyber blind date?"

"What's wrong with online dating? Is online dating eating up your rice?"

"You know what, if DreamCraft can really analyze the behavior and personality of players, and then match their personality based on big data, plus real modeling, this business seems to be really promising!"

"Fuck, this dating agency won't be voted first, right?"

……

[The Library of Nations], on the other hand, did not attract much discussion.

Even users who voted for this option just nodded after seeing it, cast a vote and then passed it by, and rarely helped to canvass votes emotionally.

——Most people don’t read much in real life, let alone go to the virtual world to read.

Only a few self-media accounts that provide reading or knowledge sharing services are taking action.

But their voices are too small and are almost drowned out by the current traffic tide.

But it was precisely with such a quiet voting method that [Universal Library] was voted firmly into second place.

And it looks like it has plenty of staying power!

——Users who actively participated in the voting at the beginning are mostly young and keen on chasing hot topics.

Relatively casual users, those who are less concerned about hot topics, or older users will react more slowly.

But they also have tens of millions of votes, and if they are all cast, they can also affect the final result.

That is to say-

The battle is not over yet!
Next, it’s time to canvass for votes!

A group of unruly people looked at the 13th-ranked [Private Marseille!] statue, and were so excited that they forgot everything else and directly forwarded it crazily in various group chats——

"Brothers, go vote for this! It's a statue of Xu Meng bowing, hahaha."

"I can't even imagine how this thing got out?!"

"Isn't this development team really afraid of being bullied by Xu Meng?"

"Hahaha, who cares about them? Just invest! This must be built! I want to see Xu Mengshe die!"

"But this big statue is also in the central square. Doesn't this conflict with the World Tree?"

"Then tear down the World Tree! Go canvass for votes, and forward this message to all your friends in your address book. Come help chop it down... I mean, cast a vote!"

……

Players who support World Tree are keenly aware of this risk, so they are desperately canvassing for votes. Players from all over the world are also desperately trying to get people to support buildings with their own country's themes.

In order to move up in the rankings, I frantically forwarded the voting link to my relatives and friends.

This round of unintentional fission marketing is almost comparable in scale and intensity to a well-known low-price online shopping app.

This caused the number of registered users of the Dream Building Game Platform to grow explosively in a very short period of time!

Combined with the large-scale registration of the elderly, the number of registered users of the Dream Building Game Platform has exceeded 6 million in just a few days.

Heading straight for 6 million!

After analyzing the data, the operation team even believes that under ideal circumstances, after these two activities are over, the total number of registered users is likely to exceed 7 million!
However, Xu Meng no longer cared about this kind of data.

He was only somewhat concerned about the production and sales of the dream machine and the number of residents in the dream world.

Just like now, he and Xiao Meng are paying close attention to the registration for the test of the [Rejuvenation] function.

Because this matter is restricted to users over 60 years old and who have activated the Dream Machine, it has not attracted much attention on the Internet and cannot be compared with the urban construction voting in which users around the world participate.

But the popularity of registration is not inferior at all——

Thanks to this project and special discounts for senior citizens, more than 2200 million senior citizens have experienced the Dream Machine.

Among them, more than 1500 million completed the registration within one hour after the test was opened.

By that evening, the number of applicants had reached 2000 million!
The remaining ones who failed to register mostly did not have a dream machine themselves, and had previously used equipment from junior or experience centers.

These older people rarely make overly radical comments on social networks like younger people do.

Even if I see my neighbors starting to use it and I am extremely envious, I can only sigh and hope that they can work harder and realize their dreams faster.

But the young people in their family are different.

Since noon, the news urging Dream Machine to increase production has been overwhelming -

"Dream Maker! Hurry up and produce a dream machine! My grandpa sighs 800 times a day! He's about to get sick from being so angry!"

"I can't buy it! I can't buy it at all!"

"That's outrageous. Xu Meng, open your eyes and take a look - you sold it for 29800, but the second-hand market sells it for 80000! The scalpers made the money, aren't you angry???"

"Xu Meng!! Go and tighten the screws!"

……

Xu Meng knew without opening his eyes that the price of the Dream Machine in the second-hand market was quite high.

But he has already set a limit: this year, each ID card can only buy one dream machine.

These were all snatched away by scalpers and there was nothing he could do.

In order to calm the users, he popped up and posted a message:
[Twisting it, twisting it.]
The accompanying picture is a photo of myself tightening screws in a factory.

Xiao Meng also took a smaller wrench and carefully tightened the small screws beside him.

Next to her was a small brain wave signal helmet.

When netizens saw this update, they flocked to the comment section.

Xu Meng looked at Xiao Meng, touched her little head and said, "It's time to start."

"Yeah." Xiao Meng nodded.

The next moment, all elderly users who signed up for the test received a system message:

[Welcome to sign up for the "Rejuvenation" project test]
[To ensure proper functionality, please download the firmware update here]
[Please read the test agreement carefully before downloading]
Except for a very small number of people who click on the agreement and read the terms inside.

Most users scroll directly to the bottom and quickly check [I agree], [I understand], [I have been informed], [Proceed to the next step], and [Start firmware update].

Meanwhile, the extraction has already begun.

For the one-time collection, Xu Meng was very cautious and only took 1% from the registered users, which is 15 people.

The [Rejuvenation] function will be opened for these 15 people. After evaluating that user feedback and server pressure are normal, another 5% will be drawn.

Another half hour passed.

Re-evaluate user feedback and server pressure.

Everything was still normal, so another 10% was taken.

……

The cycle continues until more than half of the registered users have turned on this feature, and then they stop the drawing.

For him and Xiao Meng, the process was simple.

Just look at the data and move your fingers.

But their simple operations have caused huge repercussions in both the real and virtual worlds!

On the streets of Sprawling Metropolis, a group of young people were still enthusiastically discussing the infrastructure projects of Sprawling Metropolis.

When I turned around, I saw old men and old ladies transformed into living people.

From wrinkled old men to youthful and energetic young men and women.

They looked at each other, hugged each other with tears in their eyes, and started kissing passionately on the street!
The young people were all staring with amazement.
