The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 582 is sweeping the world! Let the world return to youth! (Two in one)

The turn came too quickly, catching the players who were just celebrating the birth of the new world off guard:
"Wardfa?! Space fleet? Aliens??"

"No, this is the virtual age. Do we need to bring back the monster siege gameplay from 20 years ago?"

"Wow! A classic remake!"

"Then here comes the question! Which city will this space fleet attack? It's really hard to guess, haha!"

"The city of Sprawling is plagued by disasters... The NPCs who live here are truly unlucky."

……

The popularity of the post skyrocketed, and soon the two suffixes [精] and [爆] appeared, and the players pushed it to the front row.

There is a steady stream of players participating in the discussion.

Soon, this picture was spread to social networks and chat groups, and its popularity continued to rise.

Everyone began to worry about when these spacecraft would fall and raze the city to the ground.

But after some discussion, everyone felt that this matter might not be so urgent.

"These spaceships are hiding so far away, and Dream Building hasn't spread any rumors. They shouldn't rush over so quickly, right?"

The brave sniper used image processing software in the live broadcast room to constantly adjust the photo, trying to make the spacecraft clearer.

But the distance is too far, and the image is distorted if magnified too much, making it difficult to obtain any valuable information.

However, it was this situation that made the heroic sniper realize:
The spacecraft won't fall down that fast.

"Why else would Boss Xu put it so far away? He could just throw it directly at our faces."

"That's good news. If we have some buffer time, we can make some preparations."

The viewers in the live broadcast room were originally listening to his analysis attentively.

Hearing this, I was speechless and laughed out loud:

"God is preparing for this, and I'm asking you - what preparations can you make?"

"All weapons in the virtual world are now ground-based weapons, and are extremely weak against air attacks. How are you going to fight against orbital strikes? Are you going to fly up and intercept orbital bombings and air-space strikes yourself?"

"It doesn't matter, I will take action!"

"This is so funny. I'm ready to witness the Twin Towers fall down again!"

"Don't think too much. Unless the technology tree is upgraded, there is no point in making any preparations."

……

The brave sniper was speechless when he saw the complaints from the netizens.

In the current virtual world, we haven’t even reached the space station yet, and we don’t have the means to defend against orbital attacks.

"No, we need to ask the development team and Boss Xu what they think."

The brave sniper and his friends went to the accounts of the development team and Xu Meng, hoping to get some information.

You don’t know until you come. After you come, click on the comment section and see——

That’s what everyone thinks!

The latest messages in the comment section are all asking what's going on with these spaceships.

Unfortunately, the Sprawling City project team is now busy dealing with the follow-up impact of [Genesis] and has no time to surf the Internet.

——The process of [Genesis] is indeed spectacular and grand, and very impressive.

But for the players in the game, the experience is not very good.

I was playing the game peacefully, when suddenly the sky collapsed and the ground broke apart. The skyscrapers shook like crazy, and the skyrails and hovercrafts exploded and fell from the sky...

A real doomsday experience!

Now that Genesis is over, these players are catching up on the macro perspective they missed online.

The project team took this opportunity to quickly deal with the problems caused during the creation process.

The method is very simple——

Back to file!

Of course, there is a limit to the retracement.

Buildings, terrain, damaged vehicles, and NPCs who died accidentally are all rolled back to their previous state.

Players will be fully compensated for their losses.

However, the things that players snatched during the chaos will not be recycled - except for the NPCs that were snatched away.

The reward for the well-known "human trafficker" Sanjay in the Sprawling City Security Bureau has doubled to 14 credit points!

——The bounty offered by the Sprawling City Police Department is different from that in “Sail in the Blue Sea”. It does not mean that your criminal record can be erased if you die.

not that simple.

In Sprawling City, once the player who accepts the bounty completes the kill, the credit points will be credited to their account in real time.

Half of the credit points obtained come from the wanted criminal's wallet - if it is not enough, the balance will be deducted from his account, and the other half comes from the city management council account.

The credit points lost by the City Management Council will be converted into a prison sentence at a certain ratio.

If the bounty is less than 20000 credits, it is considered a misdemeanor.

Every 1000 credit points spent in the system account can be exchanged for 1 hour of sentence.

A bounty of 20000 credit points or more is considered a felony.

Every 10000 credit points spent in the system account can be exchanged for 1 day of sentence.

In other words, if Sanjay is killed by the player who takes on the wanted mission, he will not only lose 7 credit points, but also have to spend another 7 days in jail!
Only then can you clear your cyber criminal record.

It’s not that you can’t go online for 7 days, but you must stay in jail for 7 days after going online!
This is of course a very severe punishment.

But Sanjay certainly deserved it.

In fact, the free-mode sprawl places very few constraints on players.

Things like theft, robbery, street fights, destruction of public property... although they will attract the police from the Public Security Bureau, they are actually not a big deal.

If you get caught you just have to pay a fine.

If you are not caught, you can hide for a few hours and the record will disappear on its own.

If the crime values ​​can be stacked up to the level that triggers a wanted order, it would at least be a "serial murder case".

If the reward is over 20000, it would be considered a "pervert, pervert, or murderer."

No player would sympathize with him.

This time, Sanjay's bounty doubled because he took advantage of the "big earthquake" to lure and abduct five female virtual characters, three of whom were NPCs with very high intelligence.

……

The development team was so busy that they naturally had no time to think about the spaceship.

Besides, they had no idea what was going on.
-
The players who found Xu Meng also did not receive any response.

Having just completed a major project of the magnitude of [Genesis], Xu Meng is also paying attention to the subsequent impact of the press conference.

He was lying on the lazy sofa in the living room. Xiao Meng leaned against him with bare legs crossed, and kept sending him screenshots of the news.

Not surprisingly, the news of this press conference is trending around the world!
Almost all news websites have reports about this incident on their homepages.

It's not reported in one piece of news, but one after another!
This point is particularly exaggerated by domestic media.

Game Observation, an old friend of Zhumeng, released 10 terrifying posts in a row!
[Zhumen acquires Softoft game box, acquires international giant for 101 yuan!]
[Xu Meng's surprise press conference live! Photon topology server that changes the world! ]
[Xu Meng’s ambition: 10 billion users online at the same time!]
[Fantasy becomes reality! The digital world community for all mankind is truly born!]
[Genesis Engine! Dream building is still progressing!]
[Virtual Genesis! From today on, we have our second planet!]
[From the perspective of "Genesis", look at the progress of the Great Pioneering]
……

Their entire editorial department was caught in an atmosphere of extreme fanaticism.

Not only was the official account posting one message after another, but the editors' personal accounts were also posting their thoughts and opinions frequently.

Moreover, private accounts do not need to worry about their words, so they speak more enthusiastically.

Words like "wow", "awesome", "outrageous", "amazing", etc. are often seen.

The players don’t think their performance is exaggerated - because now almost all self-media in the Xiaguo gaming circle are like this!

Even the most authoritative official media of Xiaguo published three articles in a row: [Xiaguo Enterprise Completes Century-Old Merger in the Game Industry, Dream Games Establishes Leading Position in the Global Game Industry]
[my country builds its first super server cluster with nuclear defense capabilities]
[Dream Building Games builds a "Digital Earth" and opens a new chapter for the development of the global digital industry]
Netizens were quite surprised at first.

It is rare for official media to praise gaming companies.

Every time gaming news appears in official media with a positive image, it attracts the attention of domestic gamers.

But soon, everyone came back to their senses.

This is Xu Meng!
Whenever a big V on the Internet attacks Xu Meng, they will be visited by local agencies for education.

It is only normal for the official media to come out and praise their protégés to such an extent.

Especially such groundbreaking achievements, [No. 1 in the global gaming industry], [super server], [opening up new industries]...

It would be abnormal if I didn’t praise you! ——
Overseas, the influence of this press conference is no less impressive.

All media outlets are reporting on it extensively.

However, unlike the one-sided praise and compliments in China, the reporting direction of overseas media is a bit complicated.

There are of course countless positive reports:
[The moment of creation! Xu Meng redefines the virtual world!]
[Photon server breakthrough: Xiaguo enterprise achieves quantum leap in server architecture]
[Reconstruction of the game industry: DreamHost acquires console giant for a symbolic $15]
……

But at the same time, questioning and sarcastic headlines are everywhere:

[The "Digital Emperor" builds a nuclear war fortress to consolidate his throne]
[Why use robots to maintain a perpetual server that can hold the consciousness of 10 billion people instead of humans?]
[Digital maniac, want to put all of humanity into a box?]
[The acquisition of a game box for $15 exposes the ambition to monopolize the game industry]
[Build a dream to create a digital earth and establish absolute hegemony in the digital field! ]
[Dream server computing power leaps forward, when will the price of the "Rejuvenation" project be reduced?]
……

Especially the American media.

In recent months, reports on the [Dream Building Threat Theory] have become less and less frequent.

But this time Xu Meng's actions were too big and made them stressed out again.

But this time, their reports can no longer brainwash the public as easily as in the past.

On overseas social media, most sane netizens no longer believe these reports.

Some media outlets that say things that are too outrageous will be severely scolded by the grumpy old man.

The root of all this is that netizens around the world have been living, communicating and entertaining in the same city for a long time.

When you are shopping, you can see players from different countries fighting dragons, and you can even chat with them using the system's built-in real-time translation software.

When I was drinking coffee on the roadside, I was sitting next to people with different skin colors.

When you join a boarding battle in the game, you will be surrounded by teammates who speak a strange language.

……

If people are immersed in this multicultural and multilingual environment for a long time, their concepts will naturally change.

Communication between different countries, languages ​​and cultures takes place in this process.

The ideological walls that many media outlets intentionally erected have long since collapsed.

As for those who are not in their right minds, they are deeply immersed in another story and cannot extricate themselves -

Xu Meng has mastered brain-computer interface and consciousness uploading technology, and has built a super server that can accommodate the consciousness of 10 billion people, withstand nuclear bombing, and does not require human intervention.

Next, he will use his massive amount of funds to push the world towards nuclear war.

Finally, the real world is destroyed, leaving only 10 billion people to survive in the virtual world.

And he will become the only god in the virtual world and hold supreme power!

By then, all human beings will become his slaves! ——
When Xu Meng saw this story, she thought it was too abstract!
Since you can enjoy both the [real] and [virtual] worlds at the same time, why give up one of them?
For the so-called "supreme" rights?

Xu Meng shook his head.

Not to mention that he already has this power in the virtual world, he would just find it troublesome if he really had to take care of it all.

Sometimes, he would rather lie there in a daze or create something interesting.

"Master! And this, this, and this!"

Xiao Meng was still excitedly sending screenshots and briefings to Xu Meng.

Of course, Xiao Meng also participated in the whole process of this creation.

After Xu Meng disappeared from the players' sight, he and Xiao Meng watched the birth of the world together.

Xiaomeng has moved into the latest super server of DreamClock, and its computing power has once again made a leap forward.

The little guy thought it was all thanks to Xu Meng.

So he held Xu Meng tightly and stuck to him for several days, and the development of "Animal Kingdom" was suspended.

"Okay, okay, that's enough." Xu Meng grabbed her wrist.

After reading so many media and self-media responses, he has come to the conclusion:
The impact of this press conference was extremely astonishing.

[Super Server], [Genesis], and [Digital Earth] are trending around the world.

For those users who do not understand or care about dream building and the virtual world, it is enough to produce another powerful reach!

It was a pleasant surprise.

"That's enough." Xu Meng tapped Xiao Meng's little head.

"Is there anything else important?"

Xiao Meng blinked and instantly completed the collection, summary and classification of information: "Yes! The stock markets around the world have begun to plummet again!"

Even after the news of topological photonic chips came out, the stock market had already plummeted and the negative news had already come out.

But now that the super server has been put into use, the stock market has plummeted again!

Investors are once again in mourning.

“……”Xu Meng was speechless.

After hesitating for a while, he still sent out a notice symbolically:

“Dream Building Games has no plans to develop cloud server-related businesses.

The cloud server leasing contracts signed with partners this year will not be cancelled.

Therefore, the birth of the photonic topology server array, also known as the "super server", will not have a direct impact on the existing server market.

Please look at this rationally.

The excess computing power of DreamWorks will be used to expand the [Rejuvenation] project.

If nothing unexpected happens, the age threshold for the [Rejuvenation] business will soon be lowered - from 60 to 50 years old.

Let more users around the world regain their youth in the virtual world."
-
As soon as Xu Meng's statement was released, it was forwarded by a large number of media around the world and received maximum exposure.

But unfortunately - it failed to save the stock market from its decline.

Netizens are also not interested in the stock market.

On the contrary, I am very interested in [Rejuvenation]:

"Boss Xu! When will the age limit be lowered to 40? I really need it!"

"Indeed, I am already an old man at 30, and I need to feel the youth of 18! I can pay for it!"

"1 bucks an hour, I'm willing to spend that!"

"I can pay for it, and I want youth too!"

……

No matter whether they are 50, 40 or 30 years old, netizens all want to return to the age of 18.

Female netizens are particularly vocal!
This surprised Xu Meng a little.

But when I thought about it again, I felt it was quite normal.

——Who doesn’t want to regain a young body and relive the passion of youth?
Think about it again, the computing power of servers is seriously exceeded now, and they are just sitting there anyway.

Let's just speed up the progress and meet the needs of users as soon as possible.

Making users all over the world younger should not be a bad thing.

——Maybe it can improve their productivity?
