Build a game empire from scratch

He Peng left reluctantly.

Still the same sentence: As long as it's not a matter of principle, Lin You can do whatever he wants.

Especially since he has already done it, it is too late to say anything now...

But the "outflow" of consciousness chips is indeed not a big problem.

Players around the world have become accustomed to the existence of "black boxes" in Yunmeng's products.

When the first generation of mirages was first launched, many people tried to crack it - cracks from all over the world. However, except for an early domestic pipeline vulnerability that was exploited by NetDragon, no gains were achieved by simply cracking the hardware.

If I have to say it, just counting the hardware cost alone, Yunmeng’s profit margin is not low.

But for this truly epoch-making product, no one was really stupid and asked Yunmeng to price it based on the sum of the hardware costs.

Later, no one spent much effort to crack Yunmeng's products.

The Game Warehouse has even been equipped with anti-cracking measures. If you forcefully dismantle it, you will only get a piece of garbage, your account will be banned for a month, and you will permanently lose the opportunity to purchase the Game Warehouse from the official hands.

So so far, Yunmeng has not received any signal that any game warehouse has been violently dismantled.

Not to mention those special loaded editions, "limited editions of limited editions".

Every one of them is regarded as a treasure by players, and they are reluctant to part with it, let alone violently dismantle it.

Very safe.

In the player circle, this "limited edition of limited editions" has actually gained some fame.

After all, the performance of consciousness chips is indeed better than the chips currently on the market, and it is much better.

It's just that in the current virtual world, the performance of the ordinary version of the game warehouse can fully meet the needs, so the direct difference in senses is not very big.

This has led to the current reputation of this "rare item", which is a bit like an urban legend——

There seems to be a batch of more powerful limited edition game warehouses, but there doesn't seem to be any.

No one can tell...

As for whether these game warehouses using consciousness chips can help players "reincarnate into digital lives"...

The answer is yes.

Lin You thought it was a fortress anyway, so he just stuffed it in together.

But he didn't really expect to use it.

The reason is simple: "Playing games" is not a high-risk thing. How many people will die suddenly while playing games?

If you suffer a serious injury not while playing games, but under other circumstances, your first reaction is to send him to the hospital instead of rushing home and lying down in the game warehouse...

Even if a player suddenly develops a serious illness while playing a game, the first step is to rush to the doctor, instead of "the flesh and blood are weak, I will no longer be a human being!"

Unless, while playing a game, someone suddenly shot him from a distance.

But who would be at home and suddenly be shot with a rifle?

An Internet-addicted teenager in the lair of Mexican drug lords?

——Don’t talk about America, there is still a smuggling market over there, where is the limited edition game warehouse.

Theoretically, in emergencies such as poisons, diseases, explosions, earthquakes, and fires, this system is more likely to be used to perform operations in a very short time and save lives.

But theories are just theories.

In fact, in Lin You's settings, this system will be activated only when players in Daxia encounter such an accident and it is determined that it is irreversible.

This system will not be activated once you leave Daxia, even in the surrounding vassal countries.

——At least for now, these things have not yet come to light.

In the final analysis, Lin You just wants to surprise the players with little easter eggs, not to "randomly select a few lucky players to be reincarnated into the game world."

After returning home, Lin You not only has no intention of restraining himself, but also plans to increase the proportion of "reincarnation warehouses" if he releases a limited edition game warehouse.

…

…

This trip with He Peng didn't take much time. In the afternoon, Lin You logged into the virtual world very diligently and worked overtime.

[The Cradle Project], it’s really worth the overtime.

Not only is it for other developers to get answers as soon as possible and players to play more content earlier, but he himself is also looking forward to the creativity of his peers.

Games that are probably created by one's own hands are a bit lacking in freshness.

Lin You never got good at playing Yunmeng's own games.

This phenomenon is not uncommon within Yunmeng.

However, there are so many different teams in Yunmeng, so it’s hard to play games from other development teams.

But Lin You can't.

All games are born under his nose.

Even for projects that he did not participate in the actual production, he read the development logs of each team.

So the freshness is indeed lacking a bit.

This is also a major reason why he participated less and less in specific development in the later period.

——It’s really not because he is lazy!

But [Cradle Project] is different. 20 excellent game production teams outside of Yunmeng used all their enthusiasm and creativity to produce a hard-working work.

Lin You felt very excited just thinking about it.

Therefore, even if it is to play new and interesting games early, it is worth working overtime!

*

While the domestic development team kept receiving confirmation letters because of Yunmeng's overtime work, and excitedly posted updates to share their joy, something big was happening in Pandora——

Wang Pan is climbing the tree of life.

This is a very niche choice.

Since Sea King Xu Shenghan successfully completed the ultimate challenge of big wave surfing, the number of beach surfing players has increased day by day.

Especially on weekends when huge waves hit, there are even more people taking the challenge.

Countless people are pursuing the second completion [Water Creature].

But Wang Pan feels that his surfing skills are average, and he knows very well that for every extreme sport, reaching the level of a "master" requires a huge investment of time and energy, so he is not obsessed with surfing.

He chose to climb the tree of life.

He had already tried the same challenge last week.

Unfortunately it failed.

In order to break through the defense line of the indigenous Na'vi people, he also mobilized his fans and [Hell Paratroopers] to form a large army for a head-on battle, and only then did he get ample time to climb the tree.

Simply climbing a tree is not difficult for Wang Pan.

The trunk of the Tree of Life is so huge that the bark lines that were originally supposed to be small have become wide and strong, making it effortless to climb up.

But 200 meters later, Wang Pan was suddenly attacked.

Not birds in the trees, but—

Bird droppings!

As soon as he climbed to this height and was looking up to observe the route, a large lump of solid-liquid mixture suddenly fell from the sky and hit him on the shoulder.

Relying on the professionalism of many years of rock climbing, Wang Pan did not panic when he was suddenly attacked, nor did he raise his hands to block it. Instead, he used all his strength to fix himself in place, so that he did not get hit.

But in the next moment, he almost fainted from the smoke!

After he found out what had hit him, he even considered committing suicide by jumping out of a tree!

Relying on a strong heart that had been tempered for a long time, Wang Pan refrained from committing suicide, but gritted his teeth and continued to climb up.

But this time, he spent more time looking up, and when determining the route, he also tried his best to choose points with room for dodge.

But soon, he discovered something that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh:

This kind of attack does not seem to be a fixed challenge set by Lin You for players.

Because after that, he climbed up a full 100 meters, but never encountered the second "biochemical weapon" falling from the sky.

Once he was "bombed", it seemed like he was just...

Just bad luck.

Or it can be said to be good luck.

Because the smell on his body was very strong, after reaching 500 meters, the Ikaran flying dragons that rushed to attack with great momentum were immediately turned around in disgust as soon as they flew within 10 meters of him.

No one wanted to come near him.

Relying on this unexpected protection, he climbed to a height of 800 meters.

At this height, the types of birds began to increase, and many creatures such as hawks and falcons appeared. These creatures were throwing large and small stones and branches at him, which seriously interfered with his climbing.

At 1,000 meters, the birds began to ignore the stench on his body and launched suicide attacks on him one after another.

Wang Pan was folded here.

Free fall without parachute at an altitude of 1,000 meters.

Very exciting.

In fact, he prepared an umbrella bag, but he really didn't want to live anymore, and it was difficult to transport supplies, so he simply didn't use it.

And he decided to hold off on climbing the Tree of Life until he could find a way to deal with the birds.

——In fact, Wang Pan has already made a guess on how to deal with the birds.

How do you say that?

"If you see a gun in the first act of a play, it will be used in the third act."

Wang Pan felt that the guano bomb falling from the sky and the behavior of the Ikaran flying dragon behind him taking the initiative to avoid him were probably hints.

Suggesting a way to avoid being attacked by various birds in the trees.

But Wang Pan is really not willing to think along this line of thinking...

He prefers to believe that Yunmeng will provide multiple different solutions to a problem.

But the facts also proved: he was right.

Different solutions do exist.

[Eva's Favor], is such an effective solution.

And this time, Wang Pan is no longer the only one to challenge the tree climbing challenge.

[Flag of Salvation] organized the second event today - peace diplomacy towards the Na'vi people.

Relying on diplomacy, the Na'vi people let go of their defenses against the Tree of Life.

Except for players with low reputation, all the rest can freely climb the Tree of Life.

From morning to noon alone, more than 800,000 people attempted the climb.

But the number of successes is: 0

Fans of Wang Pan had watched him climb a tree live before, and they thought the first 500 meters was as easy as walking on flat ground.

Starting from 800 meters, it is a little more difficult.

But not much.

Now there is no need to be afraid of bird attacks, which means that the difficulty level has dropped back.

So: nothing more.

Everyone went on with full confidence.

For the first 100 meters, just walk up the thick aerial roots. As long as your feet don't slip, you can go up casually.

This further strengthened everyone's confidence.

In the next 100 meters, half of the people fell down the steep aerial root.

Another 100 meters later, the switch from aerial roots to tree bark caused the rest of the group to fall heavily.

Fans stood in the newly built Rebirth Plaza with doubts about life.

Watching Wang Pan’s live broadcast, don’t you think it’s so difficult? ?

Turner, who came to join in the fun, had anguish written all over his face.

When he had just climbed to about 240 meters, he was suddenly sat on his face by a big butt that fell from the sky...

Not far in front of him on the left, a black man who seemed to weigh less than 300 pounds was holding his buttocks with a confused look on his face.

Turner noticed the man.

Then he squatted down, covering his face in pain.

I even want to log off and leave.

But at this moment, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers.

Turner turned around and saw a group of players surrounding a person heading towards the Tree of Life.

——Wang Pan, the broadcast is on.

Seeing people falling from the trees like dumplings, and having personally experienced the difficulty myself, Wang Pan’s image in the hearts of water friends is now extremely glorious!

However, when Wang climbed the tree, the difficulty in the initial stage became even higher.

He must always be careful with the top of his head to avoid being hit by someone.

This thing is much stronger than bird droppings. As long as it is hit, it will basically fall down.

There are even some people who, once they accidentally fall, will deliberately pull down the people below them and drag them with them to their death. Their intentions are extremely sinister.

Wang Pan, a "celebrity", was tricked one after another and died six times in a row.

He had to turn off the live broadcast, change into a hooded sweatshirt, hide his identity and climb to 500 meters at full speed before reopening the live broadcast.

There are people at this position, but at this height, no one will jump down and hit people casually.

perhaps.

But as soon as the broadcast started, new problems... No, it should be said that old problems appeared——

An Ikaran flying dragon rushed towards him.

The Ikaran Wyvern is not a low-level carnivore. Wang Pan's [Eva's Favor] is only at the elementary level. After being upgraded by [Pandora's Savior], it is only two levels and cannot affect the Ikaran Wyvern.

He hurriedly climbed down a little further, and Feilong acted morally and also raised the height.

Looking at the demonstrative Icaran flying dragon in the sky, Wang Pan felt a war between heaven and man in his heart——

Do you want to smear dragon dung on your body?

It’s really a difficult thing to decide!

In the live broadcast room, water friends also realized the problem:

"Hahaha, there is no [Flying Dragon's Gift] this time, are you feeling deflated?"

"God damn, it's a gift from a flying dragon. The anchor will go directly! If a flying dragon attacks you, strangle it naked!"

"God fucking naked hanging! You are climbing a tree! Where do you get the arms to hang naked?"

"By the way, can't you just fly to the top of the tree? I remember you have a flying dragon, don't you?"

…

Wang Pan said bitterly: "I can't fly up, I tried, and my flying dragon was also killed in the previous battle to save the world."

Pandora's creatures will not be resurrected after death.

At the critical moment, the house manager appeared: "Anchor! Do you need [a gift]? My dragon is still there and can give you a gift!"

"I..." Wang Pan wanted to say something dirty.

The house manager tried again: "No. 1 in the world! Gold trophy! Ten million!"

Wang Pan swallowed his dirty words and fell silent, lost in thought.

House manager: “I understand!”

"?" Wang Pan was stunned for a moment.

What do you understand? What do you understand?

Three minutes later, a player took off from the camp riding a blue-green Ikaran flying dragon, flying higher and higher, and soon flew to Wang Pan, and then——

It passed by and flew to the top of his head.

Wang Pan opened his mouth in surprise.

Then close it tightly immediately!

A "gift" fell from the sky!

"Snapped!"

Wang Pan failed to escape.

"You're welcome!!" the house manager shouted, waving to Wang Pan, flying to a distance and hovering, no longer interfering with his climbing.

"..."

Wang Pan did not respond to him, but silently freed up a hand and opened the panel and operated it a few times.

[The house manager [Wuhu Good Man] has been banned by the anchor for 3 days]

Then, amid the barrage of "hahaha" laughter, he calmed down and continued climbing, surpassing the 500-meter line again.

The Ikaran Wyvern dives again.

Wang Pan ignored it and continued climbing.

But immediately, a neighing sound completely different from that of the Ikaran flying dragon suddenly resounded through the sky!

The group of Ikaran flying dragons above them instantly became panicked, turned around and ran away, scattering in a rush!

Wang Pan looked in the direction of the sound in shock and saw a huge, flaming red-yellow creature suddenly flying into the sky.

That is--

The real overlord of the sky - Phantom Dragon!

"Fuck!" Wang Pan couldn't help but spit out a curse word, "Am I so unlucky?"

But this time he guessed wrong.

After the Phantom Dragon approached the Tree of Life and dispersed the Ikaran Flying Dragon, it suddenly waved its wings to stop its dive and began to "cruise" around the Tree of Life.

Wang Pan was able to see——

There seems to be a female player standing on the back of the Phantom Dragon.

Moreover, the female player's hair was also entangled with the tentacles on the back of the Phantom Dragon's head.

"Is that... the goddess of water flowers?" Someone in the live broadcast room recognized her, "Is she here to help?"

Wang Pan also recognized Shui Hua.

But he wasn't in the mood to think about that right now.

He looked up at the group of Ikaran flying dragons that dispersed in the sky, and then smelled the smell on his back that could kill people.

The whole person was heartbroken.

He didn't complain about why the splash didn't come a minute earlier.

But he opened the panel.
