You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 428: Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan play a swing game, Chu Xiong comes up with a new game mechanism

So direct?

It seems that some things become addictive once you do them for the first time?

Lu Yu walked towards the yard and found that it was indeed a green and shady place, suitable for doing something secretly.

A sly glint flashed across Liu Mengyuan's bright eyes as she panted and exhaled:
"Swinging here would be a different kind of experience."

Lu Yu swallowed his saliva.
"Then let's get started?"

"Wait a minute!"

For some reason, Lu Yu was still a little worried. He looked around for a while and found that there was a hidden world on the second floor of the courtyard.

It turned out that there was a small hidden platform above the second layer of vines.

"Why not just there?" Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and winked at the lush green courtyard outside the low wall.

Liu Mengyuan bit her red lips lightly, her eyes full of affection, and nodded in agreement.

She was seen gracefully, like a wisp of smoke slowly drifting in the courtyard. Lu Yu followed closely behind her, watching her dancing like a mountain elf.

The vine platform is surrounded by mountains and trees on all sides, and the dense vines around the courtyard wall hang down vertically, forming an emerald green waterfall, which has a quiet and elegant charm of "stealing a paradise on earth".

Liu Mengyuan had already sat down in a place covered with vines, with a charming smile like a pear blossom from a peerless beauty on her lips.

Tender and affectionate, the air is filled with love.

Creak...creak...creak...

The swing game began, and the vine platform on the second floor began to swing rhythmically.

……

Suddenly, they heard a burst of laughter and playfulness coming from far away.

It turned out that the three Tangtang sisters, Tang Wanqiu, Tang Wanru and Tang Wantian, came over. They were planning to take a rest and play in this courtyard.

At this moment, Liu Mengyuan, who was secretly playing games in the vines, was startled.

It turns out this isn't an enclosed courtyard!
She looked at Lu Yu nervously, and saw that he was still calm and composed. He just held her tighter and whispered a few words of comfort in her ear.

Although he was discovered, it was too late to turn back.

The two had no choice but to continue swinging on the swing hidden in the vines.

……

The sound overflowed from the vines. The three Tangtang sisters heard it and were confused.

"what's the situation?"

For a moment, the three of them didn't dare to go any closer, so they had to stay away and look around curiously.

The vines swayed with the movement, making a rustling sound.

When Liu Mengyuan was in a panic, she was too embarrassed to make any loud noise, so she had to cover her cherry lips tightly.

But Lu Yu looked at her cute and helpless look, and couldn't help but smile evilly and increased the strength of the swing.

……

The three Tangtang sisters were curious about where the sound came from, when suddenly, it seemed like dewdrops were falling.

"Wow, is it going to rain?"

"Is this the sound of dewdrops falling?" Tang Wanqiu blinked her eyes in confusion, seeming to have some doubts about it.

"That's not right. The weather is so nice today, where did the dew come from?" Her twin sister Tang Wanru immediately retorted, but was immediately interrupted by her other sister Tang Wantian.

"Listen, that sound seems to be breathing." Tang Wantian blinked her almond-shaped eyes coquettishly, her eyes full of cunning.

The three sisters looked up together and saw that the vines were like a green wave, swaying in rhythm.

Tang Wantian immediately covered her mouth and laughed, whispering:
"So it's the vines shaking. But that sound..." She paused, then glanced at the two sisters with a sly look. "Could it be that someone is there?"

The three sisters looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

What the hell! Not only is it sunny and dew is falling every day, but the trees are also moving without wind.

At this moment, the group's security director, Ms. Wang Su, hurried over with several female bodyguards.

"Ms. Wang Su, something is wrong with this place..."

"Oh?"

Wang Su looked at Man Teng curiously, and then sent the three Tangtang sisters away.

Seeing that she looked a little unfriendly, the three Tangtang sisters became very alert and wanted to leave immediately.

"Humph, are you a petty thief pretending to be a ghost there?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Su made a gesture of silence, signaling his female bodyguards not to move around casually. Then he glanced towards the vines and bushes, and his expression immediately became a little embarrassed and complicated.

The sound of the vines swaying was even louder, sometimes long and sometimes rapid, with a rhythmic feel.

Wang Su quickly understood the implication and blushed, but he forced himself to remain calm and winked at the female bodyguards, asking them to stay away.

The female bodyguards also noticed something and started to whisper.

"I heard that Mr. Lu and his eldest daughter live in this area. Could it be that they are working out?"

Wang Su ordered her men to seal off the area, refusing entry to any outsiders. She and a few bodyguards remained nearby. They watched in amazement as the vines swayed.

The bushes seemed to be undulating and rustling. Wang Su and the others couldn't help swallowing.

Time seemed to blur and slow in the rhythm. Finally, after a flurry of leaves and the arrival of dew, the vines suddenly stopped shaking and everything returned to peace.

Just then, Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan walked out from the vines.

The two men's clothes were soaked with sweat, and it seemed that they had just had an intense marathon of swinging.

Seeing Wang Su and the others, Liu Mengyuan was stunned and quickly pulled up her collar to cover her shoulders.
She shyly took out a small spray bottle from behind her back and pretended nothing had happened.

"Sister Wang, I'm so sorry." Liu Mengyuan stuck out her tongue with a guilty look on her face.
"Brother Lu and I were watering the flowers on the second floor, and we accidentally wet the vines with the sprinkler. That's why it made that noise and the falling water. I'm so sorry if I disturbed you."

She playfully glanced at Wang Su and the others, as if to take credit. Wang Su, on the other hand, simply nodded expressionlessly, but was secretly astonished:
Goodness me, Miss Liu and Chairman Liu Lan are both fond of using a watering can to conceal something...

They really are a family, they all share the same virtue when it comes to covering up shame!"

……

While Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan were swinging on the swings among the mountains every day,
Chuxiong and his R&D team avoided the crowds and came to a remote path surrounded by mountains and winding streams, which provided a pleasant scenery.

"Let's go and rest here." Chu Xiong waved to everyone, and everyone sat down beside a flat rock by the stream.

Hua Wu sighed softly, looking at the surrounding rolling peaks and exclaiming, "What a paradise! It would be amazing if our game could create something like this."

"What a pity, it can't be done with existing technology." Wan Xiaotong curled her lips, picked up a pebble and threw it into the stream, splashing layers of ripples.

Mo Xiaoxuan agreed. "Yes, we're facing some tough bottlenecks. With our current rendering capabilities, achieving this level is simply a pipe dream."

Everyone fell silent, leaving only the gurgling stream in their ears. Chu Xiong bowed his head in thought for a long time, then suddenly leaned over to the stream and scooped up a handful of water. The water flowed in his palm, shimmering and shimmering.

He stared at the stream in his palm thoughtfully, and after a while he murmured: "Perhaps, we have been taking the wrong path."

"What do you mean?" Everyone was interested in his words.

Chu Xiong splashed the water back into the stream and looked up at the distant peaks. "We've been struggling to use a single 'rendering' technique to barely simulate the entire universe. This is a path that is doomed to end in a dead end."

Everyone looked at each other, not quite understanding his meaning.

Chu Xiong pointed to the stream and said, "Look at this stream. Every bit of it is so bizarre and unpredictable. But if I were to render this stream vividly, could I make it come alive? I'm afraid it would be difficult."

He then pointed to the peaks and said, "These rolling mountains, their vicissitudes and ruggedness are also ever-changing. If I were to exaggerate them, I would end up drawing a dog instead of a tiger."

Mo Xiaoxuan seemed to understand something. "So you're saying that we shouldn't just stick to the old ways of pursuing so-called 'rendering,' but take a different approach?"

Chu Xiong nodded and said, "That's right. We need a completely new technical approach to restore real natural objects, rather than forcing them to simulate them. Rendering scenes is ultimately illusory and will inevitably feel artificial and contrived. So I suggest..."

He paused and spoke slowly:
“Why don’t we try to allow real natural things to directly intervene in the virtual world? For example, the streams and mountains we are in now are the most perfect natural landscapes in themselves. Why not let them become part of our scene directly?”

Hua Wu's eyes lit up. "You mean, we're going to digitize the real natural environment and drag it into the game?"

"That's right." Chu Xiong nodded, his tone gradually becoming more excited:
"We want to overcome the limitations of traditional rendering technology. Rather than 'rendering' natural landscapes in a virtual world, we want to allow real natural landscapes to 'intervene' in the virtual world! Using cutting-edge, fully digital scanning and modeling technology, we can digitally sample and store the entire real-world geographical environment in its exact form, then project it directly into the virtual world through chip enhancement!"

"What a bold idea for restoring nature!" Wan Xiaotong clapped his hands and said,
"This way, the virtual world will break free from the limitations of its previous flatness and simplification, achieving true three-dimensional, full and realistic realism, making it feel as if you were actually there!"

Everyone contributed their ideas and the discussion became more and more lively.

Finally, as the topic progressed, a completely new and unprecedented technical concept began to take shape:
They want to develop an advanced large-scale three-dimensional scanning and digital reconstruction technology, using everything from drones to satellites to scan every inch of land on Earth on a large scale and digitally sample massive amounts of topographic data.

Then it is integrated and processed by a powerful image reconstruction system to form a complete three-dimensional geographic information data body.

It is highly compressed into a special file format and stored in a cloud system. Finally, through the support of the somatosensory cabin system and supercomputing chips, the entire real-world geographical environment can be directly digitized and projected into the virtual world with high fidelity! Players can then fully integrate with the authentically restored natural landscape in the virtual world, achieving an unparalleled sense of presence and immersion!
In this way, in Jiuzhaigou, where streams flow and mountains surround, Chuxiong and his team finally found the key to solving the technical problems.

The discussion was finally drawing to a close. Everyone was excited, as the new "Digital Nature" technology approach had proven to be feasible. Just then, Hua Wu suddenly had an idea and proposed a concept that shocked everyone:
"But since we're going to let the real environment intervene in the virtual world, why not let the player's personal experience intervene as well?"

Everyone was confused, but Chu Xiong seemed to have understood her intention first. His eyes lit up and he asked, "You mean?"

Hua Wu nodded and explained excitedly:
"Yes, we not only want the virtual world to have a real and natural existence, but also let players have a real and authentic experience in the game! Isn't this the ultimate concept of 'fusion of virtual and real' that we have always pursued?"

So she began to lay out her idea: any physical or mental activity a player performs in the game would have wearable devices collecting real-time data. For example, if you were to take a hike in the virtual world, your physical steps would be captured; if you were to practice sword fighting in the game, your movements would be recorded; if you were to make decisions in the game, your brainwave data would be recorded.
Thus, among the streams and peaks of Jiuzhaigou, an unprecedented "virtual and real integration" technology concept is gradually taking shape.

Hua Wu spoke incessantly:
"We need to collect all of the player's real-world behavioral data in real time, including movement status, physiological parameters, brain reactions, and so on. Then, we will use this data in a special encoding method to directly inject it into the virtual world as 'humanized parameters'!"

"In this way, not only will the virtual world have a real natural environment, but the player's behavior in it will also be completely based on the real person, rather than a simple program simulation or preset actions."

"The virtual and real worlds will seamlessly connect, and your virtual avatar will be a comprehensive digital representation of your real-life behavior! This is the true meaning of the 'fusion of virtual and real' experience!"

After heated discussions among dozens of planners in the core R&D team, a bold idea gradually took shape.

Everyone was excited after hearing this. This idea was undoubtedly groundbreaking and would elevate the virtual reality gaming experience to a whole new level.

"It's truly fascinating!" Mo Xiaoxuan exclaimed sincerely, "But to fully restore all of a person's real-life behavioral data, the requirements for collection equipment and encoding technology would be extremely high, right?"

"But with our advanced 'digital nature' technology as a foundation, completing this last step will not be a big problem." Hua Wu is full of confidence.

Chu Xiong also expressed his sincere approval: "Great, it's been decided so happily! Our "Nightless" will not only feature authentically restored natural landscapes, but also the player's own digital behavioral experience! By then, we will surely realize our ultimate dream of 'integrating the virtual and the real, making it immersive'!"

It took a long time for Chu Xiong to come back to his senses. He suddenly felt that his body was a little heavy, but his heart was extremely light and joyful.

He looked around; the lush green peaks, the gurgling streams, and the sounds of nature were all so clearly audible; the sense of presence was so realistic.

Chu Xiong couldn't help but grin at his friends. "Enjoy this paradise! This will be the prototype setting for our game, 'Nightless.' Once our new technology is fully developed, the entire Earth will become the raw material library for the 'digital nature' we use to construct our virtual worlds, and the players' performance within them will be their true selves!"

"Great, this is the real virtual and real fusion game experience!" Hua Wu was also very excited.

The group smiled at each other among the streams and peaks of Jiuzhaigou, with great ambition in their hearts.

One day, humans will create a brand new digital world through the perfect combination of virtual and reality.
