The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 537 Xu Meng: My money is useful! (asking for monthly tickets)
While financial markets around the world are plummeting and retail investors are wailing, players are enjoying a peaceful and tranquil life.

The issue of topological photonic chips brings only excitement and anticipation.

The only concern is that the price of the holographic belt may soar after using the new chip.

Only when gunfights and explosions started on Wall Street did everyone's attention get drawn over there and join in the fun.

After the matter settled, people's attention quickly returned to Ningzhou, and they were not very concerned about the subsequent investigations, announcements, and the capital market's another heavy blow the next day.

Under this "concentration", holographic treasure chests were discovered one after another.

As the progress reached 50, with only the last 10 treasure chests left, the players became increasingly enthusiastic.

Jinghu Park is still crowded with people late at night.

Look around for clues.

30 small boats are in operation non-stop, and there are people rowing boats on the lake all the time.

It was not to enjoy the night view, but because I suspected there was a treasure chest at the bottom of the lake.

Others tried to climb aboard the two sailboats to search.

This puts considerable pressure on park management.

Security guards work in three shifts and are on duty 24 hours a day to maintain order in various locations.

The lifeguards were also expanded into a team.

However, the most reliable security for the holographic park is not these people, but the intelligent security provided by DreamBuilding.

——In the virtual world, there is a completely 1:1 replica of Jinghu Park, and everything that happens in reality is synchronized in real time.

This is also the key reason why Xu Meng can often appear in front of everyone in holographic form.

And Zhumeng’s intelligent security system will not miss any emergencies.

Thanks to this, no accidents have ever happened here despite the fact that there are many creative and daring players on the scene.

Instead, players get to know a lot of new friends through high-intensity exploration and puzzle solving.

And they are friends from all over the world!

Here, you can see people of all hair colors and skin colors gathered together.

Sometimes it runs wildly on the road, chasing and intercepting a little leopard.

Sometimes they would gather around Qing Ling, dancing, spinning around and laughing along with her singing.

Sometimes, under Vivian's leadership, they would gather around the stone table to compete in arm wrestling.

Sometimes he would collect the holographic coins in his hands and throw them into the fountain one by one, shouting "treasure chest" as he threw, with one or two shouts of "win the lottery" or "get rich overnight" in between.

……

These interactive mini-games do not all point to treasure chests.

Sometimes, after decrypting for a long time, what you get is a song or dance of a virtual character, or holographic coins that can be spent here, or one or two food and beverage coupons...

Everyone was not disappointed and still enjoyed it.

The last 10 treasure chests were found one by one in this joyful and enthusiastic atmosphere.

It wasn't until the last treasure chest that everyone was finally stumped.

However, the special person who was jointly invited by several anchors, the discoverer of Mansheng Metropolis Platform 9 and Nelson - Hua Zhou, finally made an effort and gathered more than people to the shore.

A thick stone slab about one meter square was lifted up, revealing an iron chain wrapped around a capstan.

The big guys stood together and pulled the iron chain, which was as thick as an adult's arm, out.

But I couldn’t pull it!
There was no choice but to call for help from the scene.

In the end, it turned into more than 40 people from seven countries grabbing the chain, shouting "one, two, one, two", and dragging the chain out like tug-of-war.

It took a full 20 meters of pulling before a large stone ball was finally pulled out from the bottom of the lake.

The last holographic treasure chest has finally come to light.

Then, a line of holographic prompts appeared:

[Please let go together after the countdown ends, 321]
The countdown reached zero, everyone let go, and the big stone ball slowly rolled back to the bottom of the lake.

——This is a treasure chest that will be reset every day. As long as you can get everyone together, you can come and play every day.

The moment the treasure chest was opened, holographic fireworks shot up into the sky.

Less than 30 seconds later, the Dream Building official account quickly released an announcement:

[The Dream Building Strike Press Conference will be held in 10 minutes! ]
On the lakeside, everyone was craning their necks to admire the fireworks, and they were a little surprised to see this news:
"So fast! Has this been prepared long ago?"

"A big project! It's finally going to be revealed!"

"I hope it doesn't come too soon. We haven't unified the Caribbean yet..."

……

Everyone quickly found a good seat and sat down, taking out their cell phones, waiting for Xu Meng to appear.

The dream building process is extremely fast.

After the ongoing dragon duel ended, the next duel was suspended to make room for the press conference. Outside the competition venue, a bunch of media broadcasting the dragon and robot competitions were excited and contacted the headquarters to prepare for simultaneous live broadcasts.

Everyone knows that Dream Building is very efficient, so no one dares to delay and everyone works very efficiently.

When 10 minutes were up and Xu Meng appeared on the field, the surrounding players and media were already ready.

"Good morning everyone!"

Xu Meng had just obtained two new technologies and was in a very good mood. He was smiling when he greeted everyone.

The audience felt his happiness across the screen:
"Boss Xu is in such a good mood, it seems he really can't wait to announce the new project!"

"Too curly! Too curly!"

"Retail investors are losing so much money that they are vomiting blood, but Boss Xu is still in a good mood to laugh. It seems that he really doesn't regard retail investors as human beings..."

"It's so funny. The money lost by all of us in the stock market is probably not as much as what Dream Building earns in a week. It's not worth taking it seriously, right?!"

……

Xu Meng didn't look at the dense barrage of comments.

But after saying hello, let's talk about this matter first -

"A lot of people have been talking about topological photonic chips these days."

"I'll say it again: This chip is real, it has very strong performance, and its production capacity is already ramping up. These are all certain."

"But regarding the chip cooperation, I need to make one thing clear: don't come to me."

"I am only responsible for leading people to make the chips, and then I enjoy some special privileges such as priority ordering."

"Other things, such as how to produce, how much to produce, who to sell to, who not to sell to, whether it can be exported, how much to export... these things are too troublesome. I don't understand and don't want to get involved."

"You can go to the Xiaguo Photonic Technology Industrialization Promotion Office yourself."

Photonic chip technology will have a significant impact on the global semiconductor war and is also of strategic importance in geopolitics.

After Xu Meng clearly stated that he wanted to be a hands-off boss, the authorities set up this special office a month ago to coordinate all affairs.

However, this office has not been open to the public before, so most people don’t know about it.

——The first task of the special office is to fully supply the chip needs of the Dream Building game and assist Dream Building in completing the construction of the photon topology server array.

We will wait until we have achieved our goal before we start arranging industrial upgrading work.

This is not only because the technology comes from Xu Meng.

The Dream Building game itself deserves such treatment!
After saying this, Xu Meng began to talk about the impact of chips on the capital market——

"In the past two days, our dragon fighting player migoking seems to have been scolded badly, and someone on the Internet threatened him: they will kill him as soon as they return to Mexico to vent their anger."

Xu Meng looked at Migoking, who was sitting in the audience with a haggard face, and said seriously: "I warn everyone who has this idea - don't do that!"

"Anyone who tries to hurt him because he lost money in the capital market should think about whether he can escape my revenge before taking action."

Xu Meng did not say "accountability" but directly used the word "revenge".

Such a blunt threat surprised the audience both online and offline.

But migoking does face serious personal threats.

Xu Meng was indeed not very confident about the security situation in Mexico, so he could only speak more bluntly to ensure that everyone could understand.

After the dragon fighting competition was over, he planned to let migoking stay for a while longer to stay out of the spotlight.

"Let's get back to the point."

“I can promise that in the next three months, I will not reduce the computing power requirements of current partners.”

"But I can't guarantee how it will be in the long run."

“If I can use my own computing power in the future, I really have no reason to continue spending money to buy computing power from others.”

"After all, my money is useful and cannot be wasted casually."

The audience was still talking about the unlucky guy migoking, and of course they were stunned when they heard Xu Meng's last sentence.

Then quickly retorted:
"You are useless. You have more money than you can spend!"

"God can't just waste it. Can you waste it all?"

“Whose money is useless?”

……

There are a lot of comments like this.

Everyone knows: Xu Meng is a super rich man. Even if he is not the richest man in the world now, he will definitely be in the future!

No one had any objection to him having all this money.

After all, his money came from an honest source.

But he said he didn't dare to spend money recklessly...

That's bullshit!
