The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 89 Unexpected Wedding Skin

After listening to Song Zhicheng's retelling, Xu Meng felt terrible.

Non-binary!

What a fucking emphasis on publicity!
And there is also the fucking sexual minority invitation task!
If this really happens - even if it's just on the console platform, "Project Frost and Snow" will die on the spot!
Sudden death at home and abroad!
It's not just the sudden death in the game, Xu Meng has to worry about his own personal safety.

Are the people at Sony Game Station crazy?
and many more……

Xu Meng suddenly remembered something.

Zhang Yang had said at the dinner table before that the new company that Yang Hui and his team had joined was currently working for Sony's first-party studio [Duhuo Studio] to develop a blockbuster game.

——Of course, these few pawns are unlikely to interfere with the decision-making of Sony headquarters.

But now it seems that their joining Sony's projects was not accidental.

At least it’s not just finding a random company to do the outsourcing.

But...

The confluence of extreme boxing ideas and "diversity" thoughts?
"Well……"

Things seemed to be getting even more disgusting.

"Forget it." Xu Meng was a little disappointed, but decided to give up. "We can't do that."

“For overseas markets, we should wait until we have recruited the right talent and then talk to overseas agents, or set up an overseas subsidiary to do the business.”

After all, dream building has a shallow foundation, and many things cannot be accomplished overnight.

Then just take it slow.

As long as we maintain the current basic foundation, DreamBuild's cash flow will become more and more abundant, we will have more and more employees, our team will become stronger and stronger, and our technological accumulation will become richer and richer.

Many things that are very troublesome and difficult now will gradually become simple with the passage of time.

Song Zhicheng nodded and left unwillingly.

Today is the last day of June, and tomorrow is the day when "Frost and Snow Project" will be updated. He must be prepared.

Xu Meng was no longer in the mood to play games, and began searching for keywords such as [Sony Duhuo Studio], [Softotte DEI], etc. on the Internet.

——There was nothing much to search for in Rentian Paradise, and Xu Meng had no opinion about them.

But the other two are more or less...

There is almost no information related to [Duhuo Studio] on the Chinese Internet.

The most relevant one actually points to a Red Book dynamic:

[Joined a new company today! After leaving a misogynistic company full of hooligans who openly objectified women, I finally joined a company that is friendlier and more inclusive to women.]
[The new company is very good to its employees! They are generous, have great benefits, and the employees are very friendly. The atmosphere is great!]
[And it is very strong, and is currently working with the multinational group Sony Entertainment to develop new games.]
[I just had a cross-border meeting with Duhuo Studio today. My professional ability was highly recognized by Johnson. As expected, civilized people who know how to respect women are more discerning than some incompletely evolved XX and know how to respect my opinions.]
[Go! Everyone, wait and see my name on the credits list of this world-class masterpiece!]
[We will update interesting daily development in the future, workers, keep going! ]
At the end of the copy, in addition to the common tags on sweet potatoes, there are also two tags #新力娱乐#渡火工作室.

The accompanying picture is a work badge with one's name and work number blurred out.

The abbreviation of this company can be seen on the work badge - [Kashima Games].

“…I’ve never heard of this name.”

Xu Meng confirmed this name, as she had never heard of it before.

He is no longer new to this world.

After he added watching live broadcasts, watching short videos, and browsing social networks to his work schedule, he really followed through with it, surfing the Internet intensively every day during breaks at work and before going to bed.

Now, two months have passed. He knows everything about the industry's famous companies, celebrities, and all kinds of true and false gossip. He can chat about them for most of the day without stopping while eating melon seeds.

But I have never heard of this Kashima game.

I tried to check, but I could only find industrial and commercial registration information on websites like Enterprise Search, and nothing else.

But this company should have achieved some results, otherwise there would be no reason for it to get on Sony's bandwagon.

The sweeping monk in the gaming circle?

A bit ridiculous.

Xu Meng opened the comment section to see if there was any other information.

But he didn't expect that when he clicked on it, he would see his own news -

In the comments on the first floor, a netizen asked:

[Which misogynistic company are you talking about?]
The poster [Xiaohui] replied:
[Who else could it be? Of course it’s DreamWorks, isn’t that obvious? I was really blind to stay in this company for so long.]
The netizen asked again: [So the incompletely evolved monkey refers to the boss of Dream Building?]
[Xiaohui]: [It’s obvious!]
"Okay, I roughly know who you are." Xu Meng smiled speechlessly.

This number is most likely Yang Hui's.

He just heard from Zhang Yang that she had been persistently criticizing Zhu Meng and Xu Meng on various platforms, but he had not seen it himself.

Now is the first time seeing it.

Not angry at all.

Even a little want to laugh.

Firstly, the way she keeps scolding others when she is wronged is really childish and ridiculous, which does not suit her age of early thirties.

As for the second one, it’s even more fun.

She calls herself a feminist, but what Sony is struggling with is diversity and sexual minorities.

As far as Xu Meng knows, the attitude of sexual minorities towards feminism is not friendly.

"really interesting."

He followed Yang Hui with a third-party account and added the keywords [Duhuo Studio] and [Kashima Games] in his memo, looking forward to seeing more fun.

Compared with Sony's gains, [Softotte DEI] has no valuable news.

Only a few news reports of a general nature could be found, mentioning that "Soford established a DEI (Diversity, Equality and Inclusion) department."

The main text mostly boasts about the positive significance this department has brought to Sofort, and the huge help it has brought to the company's image and business expansion, blah blah...

Xu Meng was too lazy to take a closer look and just crossed it out after a quick glance.

Looking at Xiao Meng who was lying lazily on the table in a daze, Xu Meng reached out and poked the screen.

Unfortunately, his computer screen cannot be operated by touch screen, and Xiao Meng on the desktop could not feel being poked and did not respond at all.

This made him decide to replace the screen with a touch screen and add a few high-definition cameras to enrich the interaction between him and the little guy.

Let the little one see the real world too.

Xu Meng picked up the mouse, played with the little guy for a while, then said goodbye to her and went home.

The little guy couldn't see him, but was still standing obediently on the table, waving at him and saying goodbye to him.

This further strengthened Xu Meng's idea of ​​equipping this pink-haired little guy with "eyes".
-
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Xu Meng put down his phone and began to fall asleep.

On the other side of the earth, in Washington, which has a 12-hour time difference with Xia Country, it was just 10 o'clock in the morning and companies were just starting their workday.

Online news platform [Business Insider] published its first report today——

[Sofort plans to close DEI department, is the promise of diversity in vain?]
Overseas diversity issues are stirring up controversy again.

However, unless such issues touch upon more specific and personal matters, or are too magical, outrageous, and have a huge impact, they will not attract much attention in the Xia country on the other side of the ocean.

The Softford Company is closing a department - and is "planning" to close it, but there is still some distance to go before it can be confirmed, so even fewer people are paying attention to it.

The next day, when Xu Meng arrived at the company and browsed the news as usual, the incident had not even spread to the Chinese Internet.

The content he saw the most were the posts by the navy that were persistently attacking the "Frost and Snow Plan".

As we entered July, the rotation holidays of various departments were basically over and everything was back on track.

The dream-building train has once again reached the point of accelerating and racing forward.

The revenue data of "Frost and Snow Project" for the whole of June has been released——

According to incomplete statistics seen by Xu Meng, the total revenue of the remake of "Frost and Snow Project" in the first month has incredibly exceeded 8 million!
"The Divine Bird" and "The Nations" were all far surpassed.

It even almost caught up with "Abyss of the Gods", which was implementing a global strategy.

——Of course, these rankings are all mobile phone sales rankings. In fact, after the update of [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt], the majority of revenue of "Frost and Snow Project" has shifted to PC, and the numbers on the rankings are not real.

This turnover was so high that not only the employees were surprised, but even Xu Meng was shocked. He only knew that the top two tours made money, but he didn't expect that the top two tours could make so much money!
When "Frost and Snow Project" was just remade and launched, the explosive growth curve of player online rate and total revenue was also impressive - 7800 million in the first week.

But it was completely within Xu Meng's understanding.

This number is not uncommon in the second-tier game circle - it is normal for a new game to reach a peak when it is first released.

"Frost and Snow Project" is a niche game, and it takes an unconventional approach. Players are worried that this game will not last long, but it still generates such high revenue, which is enough to make the entire company happy.

But after the launch of "Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt", the game really broke out of the circle and everything started to get out of control.

A steady stream of new players, a crazy increase in online rates, a continuous surge that seems like an endless stream...

At first, Xu Meng thought that there was something wrong with the software that counted the cash flow.

Or maybe the employees under him made mistakes when compiling statistics and drawing charts.

This number is really beyond the imagination of him as an independent game developer.

But it's all true.

——The financial director couldn't sit still and came to communicate with him about tax issues in advance.

The past month's "Frost and Snow Project" has been so outrageous.

Of course, behind the extremely high online rate of players, the number of players fighting in [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] every day far exceeds the number of players who play in the big world to do side quests, which is indeed very different from traditional second-tier games.

It is somewhat of a hidden concern.

But it was the combination of the gameplay of "team competitive online games" and the "secondary game profit method" that created this revenue miracle.

Dream Building can only try its best to balance the two. It is impossible to follow the conventions of second-tier games and ignore the gameplay that players like and vigorously develop some big world.

In any case, in Xu Meng's opinion, tourism is essentially a service industry.

Developers should focus on what players like and they will probably not make big mistakes.

Of course, if a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it.

The price that Liushui paid for suppressing "Nations" and "Divine Bird" in one fell swoop was that "Frost and Snow Plan" became the target of public criticism.

The navy became a "standing army".

Xu Meng even suspected that competitors had recharged their monthly membership cards, and that the Internet water army worked there like a job, not missing a single day.

But what’s interesting is that the navy is selective in their attack on “Frost and Snow Plan” - they only attack the PVE gameplay, but basically ignore the [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] gameplay.

Just like the colleagues in the second-level game circle at this moment, they are not willing to admit that [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] can be considered as a second-level game play.

Because they really can't do it.

When the boss asked at the meeting if they could imitate, there was only silence. The executives attending the meeting all lowered their heads, staring at their blank notebooks.

The combat effectiveness of the second-level players is already quite high, and coupled with the equally powerful shooting game brothers, these two gangs are now combined together, and they are really not easy to deal with!

The navy soldiers were at a loss as to where to start.

After reading several media reports that were pessimistic about "Frost and Snow Project" and believed that the current cash flow ranking was caused by loan marketing, Xu Meng urged his good brother Zhang Yang to hurry up.

This is a new habit I have developed recently.

It's not that I was really in a hurry, but it's rare that I have a whip in my hand, so subconsciously I wanted to whip my good brother who was pulling the mill a few times.

After finishing all these, he started to organize new "teaching materials" for Xiao Meng, this time the materials needed for the [Body Sensing Synchronization Service].

Considering that the development and promotion cycle of new games may be relatively long, Xu Meng is already thinking:
Should we first disassemble the two sets of equipment, reassemble them, and then sell them?

Although the somatosensory synchronization service provides a complete set of technology, it will not be a problem to produce a part of it separately once you have mastered the technology.

In this case--

If we sell VR glasses and somatosensory gloves together, and optimize the backyard and interactive scenes of "Frost and Snow Project" to make it compatible with this hardware...

Wouldn't that mean taking off directly?

Watching the bronze sparrow dance on a computer screen is different from watching it up close and personal, as it dances on a platform surrounded by a lotus pond, with glittering chains and jade flying with its dancing figure...

Even reached out and held her soft little hand...

Just thinking about it makes me excited!
Xu Meng herself wants to try it, let alone the players?

However, in this way, the modeling accuracy of the backyard, interactive scenes, and most importantly, the characters needs to be improved a lot.

——It’s best to increase it to the limit that the hardware can support, putting pressure on players’ mobile phones and computers!

By the time players get addicted, maybe the entire set of motion sensing suits can be sold in large quantities.

"We have to do it! We have to do it!"

Xu Meng began to organize the information with great interest.

……

While he was immersed in the world of technology, the players finally waited for the update and maintenance of "Project Frost" to be completed and logged into the game one after another.

The first thing to change is of course the card pool.

Dream Building keeps its word, and after the update, it has become a double up pool——

One is the five-star character [Fuling] who was announced in advance and has been tried out in the [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] mode for half a month.

The other is a five-star remake character: the black-skinned bunny girl [Bursi].

The four-star character lineup in both pools is the same:

[Feiyun], [Ningxi], and the new four-star mecha bunny girl [Temor].

A shield character, a powerful nurse, and a new character who drives a mecha.

Even if you are a complete newbie who has just joined the game, you basically don’t have to worry about not having any characters available after drawing this round.

There is no doubt that the anchors have started the business of drawing prizes on behalf of others again.

For a time, card drawing scenes were everywhere on all live streaming platforms.

Of course, there will be no shortage of hosts who are not ordinary.

Huanyue didn't even bother to draw Fuling, and immediately opened the character interface to appreciate another important update -

Wedding skin.

"Isn't it too good for Zhumeng to be with Tongque?"

"She is indispensable for any good thing!"

Huanyue looked at Tongque, who was wearing a wedding ring and had a favorable impression of him. A new set of clothes appeared on the dress-up interface.

【A Perfect Match】

"Good fellow!" He laughed out loud on the spot, "[Golden Voice and Jade Resonance], [Golden Jade Marriage], and [Golden Wind and Jade Dew]."

"If the words 'gold and jade' are not used in Dream Building, then will we not name the things of Bronze Sparrow?"

As he spoke, he changed his clothes.

He thought he would see sexy wedding dresses with large openings, large areas of transparency, or very tight.

——After all, this is the main theme of "Frost and Snow Project"!
But what surprised him was:
This is actually a very formal wedding dress!

The tall and proud elder sister of Tongque has shed her pride, and her expression has become mature, playful, and even a little provocative from time to time.

She was wearing a white wedding dress, crystal shoes, and a white veil on her head. She stood there gracefully, stroking the wedding ring on her hand, and smiling softly at him across the screen.

Huanyue suddenly fell silent.

He hadn't expected this.

　4k chapter, to avoid everyone waiting for a long time, it will be updated at this time today.

　　But then it returned to the normal 12 o'clock update.

　　I've seen everyone's opinions. The release just happened to coincide with the slowdown of the plot. I'm indeed inexperienced, but the plot just happened to be here! Fortunately, I took advantage of the release to accelerate the key to productivity (Xiao Meng), company expansion, scheduled vacation, technical preparation, upgrade the protagonist's ability, and lay the groundwork for the next climax. All of these were done in one go - these are difficult to write, but I have to write them. Now I can finish them all in one day, and then I can concentrate on the things!
