"Hey, can we reconcile?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't think so. Truth be told is over. Okay, next round!"
"You want to use the same trick a second time?"
"Hey! Yu-kun, save me!"
"I'm sorry, I'm not able to do what I want to do."
After hearing Muto Yu's answer, Ying Ningning looked at Liangfeng Qingye with a very stiff expression. She knew that she could not escape this time.
Since there's no way to avoid it, just be tough.
So, while Muto Yu and Hoshikawa Hotaru were looking at the warrior, Sakura Ningning spoke to Ryoufeng Aoba with great confidence.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"
"Okay, okay, you don't beg for mercy at this time, and you still dare to provoke me?"
"Uh...is it too late for me to give in and apologize now?"
"It's too late. My question is, what was it like when you and your junior kissed for the first time?"
"Eh?!"
Is this what they call giving someone a taste of their own medicine?
The face of Xingchuan Ying next to her became redder and redder.
"Can I listen to all these topics for free? Will I be murdered tomorrow for knowing too much?"
But even though she knew that hearing these things too much would not end well, Xingchuan Ying still subconsciously pricked up her ears. After all, who doesn't like to listen to gossip?
The first day of Truth or Dare ended with this kind of fighting and playfulness.
Time passed slowly and it was the last night before they left. They had been playing Truth or Dare these past few days, but the punishments were getting bigger and bigger.
Today, Xingchuan Ying probably understood what was waiting for her, but she still did not choose to escape.

"The way down the mountain is not easy to walk, why don't I carry you."
"No, it's okay. President, you're carrying so many things on your back. If you hold me, it will be dangerous, right?"
Hoshikawa Hotaru, who was having some difficulty moving, shook her head slightly at Muto Yu. It was obvious that the negative buff could be eliminated by using "psychic power" or massage, but the other party stubbornly wanted to wait for the injury to heal on its own.
However, since this was the other party's request, Muto Yu naturally had no choice but to agree. The majestic "spiritual energy" formed an invisible protective barrier around him, which would provide support for the other party once their center of gravity was unstable, preventing them from falling and getting injured.
Chapter 285: No Man's Sky Preview
Both "PUBG" and "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" have been released, but neither E Studio (Eagle Leap) nor Z Studio has released any new game project announcements.
This has puzzled many players and industry insiders around the world, but in fact, Yu Muto is teaching the two studios how to use the Type-V game engine and how to create art resources for consciousness infiltration games...
In short, this is not an easy job, and Muto Yu also discovered a huge problem, that is, there are not enough server resources.
At the beginning, when Yu Muto was testing, he used a high-performance notebook from the future, which could provide quite terrifying computing power.
However, when using ordinary computers for testing, it was found that the computing power of ordinary computers was scarce, and the computing power had to be supplemented remotely by the server.
The problem lies in the server cluster that was previously expanded again. After calculation, it was found that it can only accommodate 100,000 users logging into the consciousness infiltration game at the same time.
The annual maintenance cost of the server itself is not cheap. As a consciousness-infiltration game, the development cost of the game is quite high. If you want to make a profit, you must make the game into a point card system, and the hourly charge may be so high that ordinary people can only experience it occasionally.
There is a solution. All we need to do is upgrade the hardware, enhance the computing efficiency of the computer, or the server, or... the helmet.
However, Muto Yu did not understand hardware. After thinking it over again and again, he decided to directly acquire several related laboratories and began to prepare to research chips with higher precision and higher performance.
Naturally, R&D funds must be earned by the first batch of consciousness infiltration gaming equipment. The fewer spots available, the more valuable they are, right?!
So after the first "PUBG" tournament came to an end, industry reporters, after interviewing the winning team, immediately set their sights on Yuu Muto who "happened" to appear there.
"Mr. Kayaba Akihiko, are you able to accept our interview?"
"Of course, but because of time constraints, you can only answer five questions."
The reporters looked at each other, and then someone immediately stood up.
"Mr. Kayaba Akihiko, there are rumors online that you've run out of ideas and will no longer make games. Is this true?"
"That's fake! The new game's launch event will be at the end of next month. I'm planning to go back today and post this news on my social media account."
After hearing Yu Muto's answer, all the reporters immediately became like sharks that smelled blood, and their eyes instantly turned red.
"Mr. Kayaba Akihiko, can you give us a sneak peek at what the new game is like?"
"If I just say it directly, it won't be mysterious anymore. But since you're all so concerned about this issue, I can't just turn you down. I'll give you a few adjectives."
Having said that, Muto Yu paused slightly, and the reporters subconsciously held their breath, remained silent, and waited to hear the other party's answer.
“A true journey into the universe, a magical planetary exploration, and a monumental existence in the history of gaming!”
"hiss!"
After hearing Yu Muto's description, many reporters present subconsciously took a breath of cold air. It was the first time that Akihiko Kayaba had said such arrogant words in public.
"Mr. Kayaba Akihiko, you described your new game as a historical monument. Is that an exaggeration because you're so confident in it?"
"No, this is just a statement of fact. This game will truly usher the current gaming industry into a brand new era."
Hearing Yu Muto describe his new game in a rather arrogant tone, only a small number of the industry media present showed doubtful expressions, while most of them showed excitement.
"Mr. Kayaba Akihiko, could you please share with us the progress of your new game at the time of the press conference?"
"The completion progress doesn't need to be kept secret. When the press conference is held, I will also bring the alpha test version of the game to the stage!"
"So, the press conference isn't just about showing a game trailer and some concept presentations, but there will be actual gameplay demonstrations and live play?!"
"Yes, and I guarantee that all trial players will have an unparalleled experience."
Listening to the conversation between the reporter and Muto Yu, the other reporters hurriedly wrote down the latter's remarks, and then only one last question was left.
"Teacher Kayaba Akihiko, could you please tell us what you are dissatisfied with regarding the upcoming game?"
"You don't even know what the game is like, yet you're asking me what I'm unhappy about."
Listening to the reporters' questions, Muto Yu shook his head helplessly, and then continued to answer their questions.
"I do have some complaints. The performance of current hardware is really hard to describe. Even though I optimized the game's algorithms as much as possible, launching this massive game, which is almost 2TB in size, still requires a lot of server computing power."
"Wait, wait, Mr. Kayaba Akihiko, how big did you say the game is?"
"The client alone is 2TB in size, so I've been saying this is absolutely groundbreaking. Furthermore, this game will be paid for using a point card system, or in other words, based on the amount of computing power borrowed from the cloud."
In other words, as long as the player has money, he can directly install the client on the supercomputer, just like Yu Muto tested it with a high-performance laptop before.
In this way, there is basically no need to borrow additional computing power from the server, and naturally you can only pay for the lowest-priced package to play.
Soon, the interview transcripts of the gaming industry journalists attracted the attention of countless friendly companies, industry peers and a large number of players.
Because the value of Kayaba Akihiko's brand name has been increasing over the years, even though he said such an exaggerated statement this time, no competitors or industry leaders have come forward to question it.
Of course, secretly instigating some internet trolls to raise all kinds of doubts and pretending to be the only one sober while the rest of the world is drunk is also inevitable. These situations can only be said to be extremely common.
When Yu Muto used Kayaba Akihiko's account to release a half-minute game trailer and held a press conference at Tokyo Dome at the end of next month, and sincerely invited major game manufacturers from all over the world to attend, the whole situation was pushed to a new level of heat.
The half-minute promotional video shows scenes of looking down at the earth from the universe, gazing at the void of the universe, and then starting the jump engine to jump between star systems.
The sense of immersion of Lv10 directly shocked all viewers.
Chapter 286 Tokyo Dome Opens for Admission
Time quickly arrived at the day of the "No Man's Sky" press conference, and the Tokyo Dome was opened to the public. Audiences, friendly companies and industry media all began to enter in an orderly manner with their tickets.
It is said that many musicians dream of holding a packed concert here, and they also set this goal before ending the band.
But they haven't done it yet. Instead, Muto Yu came here earlier to hold a press conference. Of course, renting a venue costs a lot of money, but it will be earned back later.
As for tickets, they are actually free of charge. Apart from invitations sent to major game manufacturers, game studios, and industry media around the world, the remaining tickets are basically distributed through random draws.
Of course, the presence of scalpers is inevitable. In short, it's a one-on-one fight, and even Muto Yu can't say anything.
"A lot of people."
Liangfeng Qingye looked back at the long queue behind him and said with some emotion.
"Where are our seats?"
"exist……"
Hearing Xingchuan Yingying's question, Ying Ningning lowered her head and was about to find the corresponding positions of the three of them, then she heard Ming Haiyan's voice.
"Ningning, over here!"
They had already exchanged their seat numbers before coming. Ying Ningning happened to sit next to Ming Haiyan, and Xingchuan Ying and Liangfeng Qingye were not far away.
So Ying, Ningning and the other two rushed over immediately, found their seats and sat down smoothly, and only then did they feel a little relieved.
"Where's the president?"
"Of course the president went to the back. He's going to go on stage later."
Mochizuki Hongye, who was beside Ming Haiyan, asked the three people in confusion, and then got the answer from Liangfeng Qingye. The straight girl who had long been conquered by food would always subconsciously pay attention to the existence of Muto Yu.
This action made the smile on Ming Haiyan's face freeze slightly, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. In order to protect her good friend, she had sacrificed too much.
She gave up everything she had just to protect her good friend Mochizuki Hongye, but the other party's actions at this moment made her feel extremely tired.
What Ming Haiyan didn't know yet was that the person she wanted to protect, Wangyue Hongye, had actually taken the final step one day earlier than her.
It can be said that it protects loneliness.
"But it's really exciting. We can actually participate in the development of the world's first consciousness immersion game. Will our names be left in the future?"
Ying Ningning said this with some anticipation, and such words also triggered other associations, and then she heard Liangfeng Qingye on the side directly pouring a basin of cold water.
"Ordinary employees like us don't have that opportunity. Only management like Sister Yagami and her colleagues have the chance to leave their mark. Other than that, it's the junior students who truly bring about change. They will definitely be remembered in a big way in the future."
"It's okay to think about it."
Ying Ningning curled her lips, and while a few people were chatting, in another corner of the audience.
"Wow, there are so many people here."
"I hope we can have this many spectators when we hold a concert at Tokyo Dome later."
Kita Ikuyo turned her head to look at the crowded audience and expressed her feelings.
Goto Ichiri, who had basically overcome his social anxiety after several years of psychological treatment, also imagined the future.
"That day will come. When we end the band, we are no longer the unknown little band we used to be."
Ijichi Hongka said this with determination and expectation on her face, while Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Seika were watching this scene with smiles on their faces.
Another corner of the auditorium.
"Ah, so why can we just stand here and watch while those guys can help Yuu from the back."
Eriri Sawamura said this somewhat unhappily, and Kasumigaoka Utaha beside her rarely comforted her, although it didn't sound like comfort at all.
"After all, they participated in the production of No Man's Sky, but we didn't."
"Is it because we don't want to participate? It's because You didn't give us a chance."
Sawamura Eriri said unhappily, not feeling that she was being comforted at all, while Kato Megumi beside her shook her head helplessly.
"That game is too big, and we won't be able to help much if we join in, so we might as well continue working on Thousand Loves.
Even if we join the game production, we can only be ordinary employees, sitting in the audience like we are now. Suzukaze Aoba and the others are also in the audience now."
After hearing what Kato Megumi said, Sawamura Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha both sighed.
In fact, there were not as many people behind the stage as Eriri Sawamura and the others had imagined. There were only four producers, Shizuku Hazuki, Toyama Jun, Yamato, and Yagami Hikaru, helping Yu Muto deal with some trivial matters.
"It's almost time, it's time to go on stage, President!"
"it is good."
Listening to Yamato's suggestion, Toyama Lun finally helped Muto Yu adjust his collar and tie, looked him up and down carefully, and after making sure there were no omissions, he nodded.
"Kayaba Akihiko-sensei!"
